BlaZ gene was taken as gold standard to predict penicillinase-producing or not. Overall, there are no very major error in Vitek 2, one in WalkAway 40 and seven in DL-96. No major errors and 59 minor errors were noted in this study. The results showed that Vitek 2 had more reliable rate to predict penicillinaseproducing S. aureus. %K list of open access journals %K open access %K open access journals %K open access publication %K open access publisher %K open access publishing %K open access journal articles %K imedpub %K imedpub publishing %K insight medical publishing %K imedpub online %U https://www.imedpub.com/articles/comparison-different-automated-systems-for-detection-of-penicillinase-instaphylococcus-aureus.php?aid=19374
