Low-level methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus may be difficult to detect with the VITEK® 2 system (VK2). Here, we suggest that S. aureus exhibiting VK2-oxacillin MIC of 1 or 2 mg/L and a negative cefoxitin screen should be tested for the presence of mecA or its gene product.
耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌（MRSA）的低水平可能难以用 VITEK® 2 系统（VK2）检测到。在此，我们建议对 VK2 苯唑西林 MIC 为 1 或 2mg/L 且头孢西丁筛选为阴性的金黄色葡萄球菌进行 mecA 或其基因产物的检测。
