Role of SCCmec type in resistance to the synergistic activity of oxacillin and cefoxitin in MRSA
Scientific Reports, 2017 β-lactam antibiotics target penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) preventing peptidoglycan synthesis and this inhibition is circumvented in methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains through the expression of an additional PBP, named PBP2A ...
