The emerging threat of multidrug-resistant mecA gene-positive coagulase-negative Staphylococci

Iranian Journal of Microbiology
Background and Objectives: Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), previously classified as normal bacterial flora, have recently been associated with serious infectious diseases. The clinical isolation rate of these bacteria has increased in parallel with a rising prevalence of antibiotic resistance.

Identification and detection of methicillin resistance in Non-Epidermidis coagulase-negative staphylococci

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
The NCCLS (2004) presented a new methodology to detect, by disk-diffusion agar, oxacillin-resistance using a cefoxitin disk. We identified coagulase-negative staphylococci (SCoN) to the species level and compared the use of cefoxitin disks (30 µg) with ...

The Prevalence of Resistance to Methicillin in Staphylococcus aureus Strains Isolated from Patients by PCR Method for Detec-tion of mecA and nuc Genes.

Iranian Journal of Public Health, 2014
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is the main cause of hospital infection emerged over the last decades. Rapid detection of MRSA is important for patient care and proper usage of infection control.

Analysis of the mecA Gene Conferring Methicillin Resistance in Staphylococcus aureus

This study presents an in-silico analysis of the MecA drug resistance gene from Staphylococcus aureus, the key determinant of methicillin resistance. The complete gene sequence (1,800 bp; GC% = 33.67) was retrieved from NCBI and translated using Expasy tools, resulting in a 600-amino-acid protein with a molecular weight of 76.1 kDa and a theoretical ...
