The activity against four strains of glycopeptide-intermediate S. aureus was similar to that for other methicillin-resistant S. aureus isolates (range 0.5-2.0 mg/L)...- Correlation of cefoxitin MICs with the presence of mecA in Staphylococcus sppJana M Swenson
Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia 30333, USA
J Clin Microbiol 47:1902-5. 2009..For coagulase-negative strains at 24 h of incubation, breakpoints of < or = 2 microg/ml for mecA-negative and > or = 4 microg/ml for mecA-positive isolates gave sensitivity and specificity of 94 to 99% and 69 to 80%, respectively... - Detection of inducible clindamycin resistance in staphylococci by broth microdilution using erythromycin-clindamycin combination wellsJana M Swenson
Antimicrobial Resistance Team, Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA 30333, USA
J Clin Microbiol 45:3954-7. 2007..After a 24-h incubation, the ERY-CC combinations of 4 and 0.5, 6 and 1, and 8 and 1.5 microg/ml correlated well with the D-zone test... - Detection of mecA-mediated resistance using reference and commercial testing methods in a collection of Staphylococcus aureus expressing borderline oxacillin MICsJana M Swenson
Epidemiology and Laboratory Branch, Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA 30333, USA
Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis 58:33-9. 2007..These results suggest that a cefoxitin test can be used alone to predict mecA-mediated resistance in S. aureus... - Accuracy of commercial and reference susceptibility testing methods for detecting vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureusJana M Swenson

J Clin Microbiol 47:2013-7. 2009..Only 12 (33.3%) strains for which the VA MICs were 4 microg/ml grew on VScr. The differentiation of isolates for which the VA MICs were 2 or 4 microg/ml was difficult for most systems and methods, including the reference methods... - Results of disk diffusion testing with cefoxitin correlate with presence of mecA in Staphylococcus sppJana M Swenson
Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Mailstop G08, 1600 Clifton Rd, Atlanta, GA 30333, USA
J Clin Microbiol 43:3818-23. 2005..These data were used to refine the description of the test in CLSI document M100-S15. The cefoxitin DD test is preferred over the oxacillin DD test for predicting mecA-mediated oxacillin resistance in S. aureus and CoNS... - Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Acinetobacter spp. by NCCLS broth microdilution and disk diffusion methodsJana M Swenson

JMI Laboratories, North Liberty, IA 52317, USA
J Clin Microbiol 45:227-30. 2007..led to an unacceptable error rate (23.3%). However, an adjustment of tigecycline disk diffusion breakpoints (susceptible/resistant) to > or =16/ < or =12 mm reduced intermethod errors to an acceptable level (only 9.7%, all minor)... - Quality control guidelines for testing gram-negative control strains with polymyxin B and colistin (polymyxin E) by standardized methodsRonald N Jones
