Product Description
BBL" OXACILLIN SCREEN AGAR, catalog #221952, box of 10 plates. || Oxacillin Screen Agar (originally named MRSA Screen Agar) was developed for the detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). These strains are resistant to penicillinase-resistant penicillins (PRPs), such as methicillin, oxacillin and nafcillin. Since the method to detect MRSA uses the same inoculum as the Bauer-Kirby antimicrobial disc susceptibility test procedure, the oxacillin screen test may be conveniently performed on isolates at the same time as routine susceptibility testing.
