Abstract
The performance of Vitek cards GPS105 with software version VTK-R07.01 for detection of oxacillin resistance in coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS ) was compared to disk diffusion and PCR detection for mecA, The sensitivit y and specificity of the Vitek GPS105 method were 97.6 and 85.5%, respectiv ely.
