Detection of mecA in staphylococcal bacterial isolates
Evaluation of treatment options when oxacillin or cefoxitin breakpoints are unavailable (eg, some Staphylococcus species, not S aureus)
Prediction of antimicrobial resistance when bacterial growth is inadequate for phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility testing (eg, staphylococcal small colony variants; SCVs)
Assessment of discrepancies between cefoxitin and oxacillin phenotypic testing results
Rapid molecular test that detects mecA DNA associated with prediction of antimicrobial resistance to methicillin and other applicable beta-lactam antibiotics in isolates of Staphylococcus species.
