Cefoxitin

5 µg

Description
Cefoxitin is a cephamycin which is bactericidal through inhibition of cell wall synthesis.
A number of recent studies have indicated that the use of Cefoxitin has a higher sensitivity and specificity than other compounds traditonally recommended for detecting mecA resistance in Staphylococci.

Quality control
Known mecA positive and negative strains should be used to monitor performance.
