Diagnostic pitfalls in Staphylococcus spp. surveillance: lessons from a multina...
Pinheiro, Bárbara; Gomes-Sampaio, Luís M.; Pacheco, Patrícia; Campos, Carla; Braz, Maria Pranto; Coelho, Cristina; Miranda, Carla; Quinteira, SandraBackground: Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of severe and hard-to-treat human infections, particularly when resistant to cefoxitin due to the presence of the mecA gene [1]. However, diagnostic challenges arise from the misidentification of S. aureus and related species when relying on classical identification methods (mannitol fermentation; coagulase production), as well as from the detection of strain...
