Staphylococcus aureus resistant to methicillin (oxacillin) but resistant to fewer other drug classes than the multiple drug resistant MRSA strains. Oxacillin (or cefoxitin) represents all other ß-lactams (and cephamycins) and resistance to either of these predicts non-susceptibility to all categories of ß-lactam antimicrobials i.e. all categories of penicillins, cephalosporins, ß-lactamase inhibitors and carbapenems.
