Comparison Different Automated Systems for Detection of Penicillinase in Staphylococcus AureusDOI: 10.21767/2394-3718.100012 Keywords: list of open access journals, open access, open access journals, open access publication, open access publisher, open access publishing, open access journal articles, imedpub, imedpub publishing, insight medical publishing, imedpub online Abstract: The accuracy of Vitek 2, WalkAway 40, and DL-96 systems for susceptibility testing of penicillin against 547 S. aureus was evaluated using broth micro dilution. 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.
