A preliminary study of mecA gene expression and methicillin resistance in staphylococci isolated from the human oral cavity

Sri Lankan Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019
Introduction: Staphylococci are common human commensals that acquire methicillin resistance via the mecA gene. Methicillin resistance in staphylococci from various clinical sources has been assessed using cefoxitin disc diffusion test (CDDT) and PCR ...

Variability of Recombinase Genes and Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mecA of Staphylococcus Haemolyticus

Антибиотики и Химиотерапия, 2020
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS), in particular Staphylococcus haemolyticus, play an important role in the etiology of nosocomial infections. Most CNS are resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics, which is realized through the production of the second ...

Screening for mecA and mecC Gene Carriage among Clinical Isolates of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus at a Tertiary Care Hospital: A Cross-sectional Study [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2023
Introduction: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) has emerged as one of the most important human pathogen, and has been a leading cause of hospital and community acquired infections. Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carrying the mecA gene

Guidelines for Reporting Novel mecA Gene Homologues [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2012
Methicillin-resistant staphylococci are disseminated all over the world and are frequent causes of health care- and community-associated infections. Methicillin-resistant strains typically carry the acquired mecA gene that encodes a low-affinity penicillin-binding protein (PBP), designated PBP2a ...

Detection of the Staphylococcal mecA gene by chemiluminescent DNA hybridization [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1995
A new solution-phase DNA hybridization capture assay for the rapid detection of the mecA gene in clinical isolates of Staphylococcus was compared with multiplex PCR and disk diffusion methods. The assay uses a DNA capture probe immobilized on paramagnetic particles and a second DNA probe labeled with an acridinium ester. Bacteria from 24-h cultures are

A potential role of transposon IS431 in the loss of mecA gene [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
AbstractAcquisition of a vancomycin-resistance-determinant may trigger deletion of the mecA gene. However, the molecular mechanisms involved remain largely unknown. In this study, we successfully produced vancomycin-intermediate-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) from Methicillin-resistant-S.

Primer Design and Analysis for Detection of mecA gene

Journal of Tropical Pharmacy and Chemistry, 2021
MecA is a gene that causes antibiotic resistance and it contained in Staphylococcus aureus. The gene can be detected using pairs of primer (forward and reverse). Primes is short nucleotide that are used as attachment point for DNA polymerase and as a barrier for the fragment DNA target to be amplified with Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).

Molecular and phylogenetic study of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from human and cattle of Al-Qadisiyah Governorate, Iraq [PDF]

Veterinary World, 2019
Aim: This study was designed to detect the prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus, to estimate the frequency of methicillin resistance gene (mecA), femA (specific gene for S.
