Se recolectaron 68 cepas de S. aureus, las que fueron identificadas en el hospital mediante el sistema Vitek ® 2. Sin embargo, sólo 66 fueron confirmadas como S. aureus por pruebas bioquímicas y por la amplificación del gen 23S rRNA.
Using the Vitek 2 system, we tested a panel of 896 Staphylococcus aureus isolates and found that an oxacillin-sensitive/cefoxitin-resistant profile had a sensitivity of 88.7% and a specificity of 99.5% for the identification of mecC MRSA isolates.

The Vitek 2 also showed excellent accuracy for detection of oxacillin-resistant S. aureus and CNS isolates (99.2%sensitivity and 96.2%specificity in the first run; Table 1). Two false-negative MRSA results were obtained, one of which was identified by the Advanced Expert System software as ‘probable MRSA’ because of growth in the ...

The most notable deficiency of the Vitek 2 performance was the detection of ICR in S. aureus, for which 20% VME were observed among 30 S. aureus with the ICR phenotype. All 6 isolates that tested negative for ICR by Vitek 2 were confirmed to harbor an ermA gene by PCR.

Utilidad del sistema VITEK en la identificación bacteriana y estudios de sensibilidad antimicrobiana Acta Bioquímica Clínica Latinoamericana, vol. 39, núm. 1, enero-marzo, 2005, pp. 19-25 Federación Bioquímica de la Provincia de Buenos Aires
The new system proved to be highly reliable for the staphylococcal species most commonly isolated in our laboratory from patients with bloodstream infections, i.e., S. aureus and S. epidermidis, which were ultimately identified in 100 and 97.2% of cases, respectively.
