Tiivistelmä
An in-house PCR was compared with the GenoType MRSA and the MRSA EVIGENE tests, both of which corresponded 100% with the results of in-house PCR. The cefoxitin disk diffusion method was superior to both the oxacillin disk diffusion and minimum inhibitory concentration tests for predicting the mecA status.
