This study aimed to evaluate the histological and cellular responses to the injured ACL.

Methods: Fifty-two tissue samples from the ACL were harvested from patients undergoing arthroscopy.

Article Synopsis
  • The study compared the effectiveness of Cefoxitin versus Methicillin/Oxacillin in detecting the mecA gene in Methicillin-resistant Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS).
  • Among 57 CoNS isolates tested, all 41 mecA-positive samples showed resistance to Cefoxitin, while 80.5% were resistant to Methicillin/Oxacillin.
  • The findings suggest that Cefoxitin resistance is a more reliable indicator of mecA positivity compared to Methicillin and Oxacillin tests.
