Evidence for the evolutionary steps leading to mecA-mediated β-lactam resistance in staphylococci. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2017 The epidemiologically most important mechanism of antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus is associated with mecA-an acquired gene encoding an extra penicillin-binding protein (PBP2a) with low affinity to virtually all β-lactams.
