*As of 2019, the way that the microbiology laboratory indicates in its reports that an organism is resistant to the antistaphlococcal penicillins (of which the architype is methicillin, hence the phrase "Methicillin-resistant staph aureus") is to specifically identify that it is resistant to oxacillin, with a comment that MRSA has been isolated. It will NOT list any other of this class of drugs. | |||
