Evaluation of Surrogate Tests for the Presence of mecA-Mediated Methicillin Resistance in Staphylococcus capitis, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Staphylococcus hominis, and Staphylococcus warneri
Testing of staphylococci other than Staphylococcus aureus (SOSA) for mecA-mediated resistance is challenging. Isolates of Staphylococcus capitis, Staphylococcus haemolyticus,...

Improved Performance of a Rapid Immunochromatographic Assay for Detection of PBP2a in Non-Staphylococcus aureus Staphylococcal Species
Non-Staphylococcus aureus staphylococcal species (non-SASS) are important pathogens in both animal and human populations. The development of β-lactam resistance in non-SASS through acquisition and expression of penicillin-binding protein 2a (PBP2a) represents a significant clinical and public health threat.
