Performance of a New MicroScan WalkAway PC30 panel and disk diffusion method for detection of oxacillin resistance in Staphylococcus spp

Olivier Gallon et al. J Clin Microbiol. 2011 Jun.

Abstract

The performance of the MicroScan WalkAway PC30 panel for detection of oxacillin resistance was evaluated by use of a collection of 420 staphylococcus isolates. The addition of a cefoxitin test (4 mg/liter) to the oxacillin MIC determination increased its raw performance for Staphylococcus aureus; additional data were required for coagulase-negative staphylococci.
