    AN INTERNAL BIOMÉRIEUX INVESTIGATION WAS INITIATED FOR A COMPLAINT IN REFERENCE TO A GERMAN PUBLICATION (PMS 80754365: "COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT PHENOTYPIC APPROACHES TO SCREEN AND DETECT MECC-HARBORING (B)(6)") CLAIMING NINE (9) FALSE NEGATIVE CEFOXITIN SCREEN RESULTS FOR A STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS ISOLATE IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE VITEK® 2 AST-P580 TEST KIT. BIOMÉRIEUX ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THE AUTHOR OF THE ARTICLE, AND IDENTIFY THE VITEK 2 USERS THAT PROVIDED TEST RESULTS, HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. THEREFORE, NO LABORATORY DATA, SPECIFIC TEST RESULTS, PRODUCT BATCH NUMBER(S), PATIENT IMPACT IF ANY, NOR CONFIRMATORY TESTING VIA REFERENCE METHOD ARE AVAILABLE. SUBMITTAL OF THE ISOLATE IS REQUIRED IN ORDER TO CONFIRM A VITEK 2 DISCREPANCY COMPARED TO THE REFERENCE METHOD. FURTHER INVESTIGATION IS NOT POSSIBLE. THE LOT NUMBERS FOR THE IMPLICATED CARDS TYPES ARE NOT AVAILABLE, SO COMPLAINT SEARCHES AND QC PERFORMANCE REVIEW OF THE LOTS CANNOT BE PERFORMED.
