Ability of the Modified Vitek Card To Detect Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci with mecA and Oxacillin-Resistant Phenotypes

The accurate detection of oxacillin resistance among staphylococcal isolates in the clinical laboratory is of vital importance in order to guide therapy and possibly avoid treating patients unnecessarily with vancomycin. Oxacillin-susceptible staphylococcal infections are more effectively treated
