Detection of mecA Gene in the Clinical Isolates of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Resistance coding in Staphylococcus aureus could be phenotypic or genotypic. In genotypic coding, mecA gene codes for the production of the altered penicillin-binding protein responsible for methicillin resistance.
