Fig. 1 Scattergram of inhibition zone diameters obtained using cefoxitin 30-µg and oxacillin 1-µg disks for 237 CoNS isolates. Unbroken circles indicate mecA-negative isolates; broken circles indicate one mecA-negative and one mecA-positive isolate at that position. Unbroken lines indicate the current CLSI interpretive criteria for CoNS; the broken line indicates a proposed breakpoint for cefoxitin.
