Positive correlation between methicillin and oxacillin susceptibility test results and the detection of the mecA gene was observed for Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis, and S. haemolyticus as well as among mecA(+) strains of other species of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS). However, at least 50% of the mecA-negative strains of these other species of CNS were falsely classified as methicillin and oxacillin resistant.
在金黄色葡萄球菌、表皮葡萄球菌、溶血葡萄球菌以及其他凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌(CNS)的mecA(+)菌株中,观察到甲氧西林和苯唑西林药敏试验结果与mecA基因检测之间呈正相关。然而,这些其他CNS菌种中至少50%的mecA阴性菌株被错误分类为耐甲氧西林和耐苯唑西林。
