Przy oznaczaniu wrażliwości Staphylococcus cohnii na antybiotyki ß-lakta- mowe zastosowanie warunków hodowli stymulujących mechanizmy oporności sprzyja eliminacji błędnych wyników, niezgodnych z dobrze sprawdzającymi się wynikami oznaczania meticylinooporności w krążkowym teście z cefoksytyną (FOX30).

The high occurence of coagulase-negative staphylococci among bacteria responsible for hospital infections is unquestioned. Studies on the poorly-known novobiocin-resistant, coagulase-negative Staphylococcus cohnii were undertaken. The possibilities of optimizing conditions for determination of susceptibility to ß-lactam antibiotics of this species were researched. In the case of S. cohnii the new cefoxitin test for detection of methicillin resistant strains, introduced by the National Reference Centre for Antibiotics in Poland was found as a good and of credible quality. It was also shown, that application in in vitro examination conditions stimulating the mechanisms of resistance to ß-lactam antibiotics, supplies credible results relating to their true susceptibility. The necessity of establishing individual conditions for susceptibility determination in different species of coagulase-negative staphylococci was suggested.
