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 ...

SNP Scanning in mecA Gene for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
Iranian journal of biotechnology, 2020 Staphylococcus aureus (SA) is known as an important human pathogen, which is responsible for many cases of both hospital and community-acquired infections all over the world. Studying on drug resistance is regarded as an important prevention strategy regarding these types of infections.The current study is aimed to assess the association between the ...

Ceftaroline resistance in Staphylococcus pseudintermedius gene mecA carriers [PDF]
Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira, 2018 ABSTRACT: Infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) being a constant concern, ceftaroline fosamil has been recently approved as a new cephalosporin, active against MRSA, for use in humans; only rare cases of resistance have been reported till date.

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

MRSA/MSSA causing infections: prevalence of mecA gene
European Journal of Public Health, 2020 Abstract Introduction Staphylococcus aureus is part of the human flora, present in the skin and mucous membranes but can become pathogenic, causing a wide spectrum of infections that were initially treated with penicillin. However, were observed some strains with resistance to this antibiotic and, therefore was developed a new antibiotic,

Genetic organization of mecA and mecA-regulatory genes in epidemic methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus from Australia and England [PDF]
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2002 The mecA gene that encodes methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus may be regulated by the mecR1 and mecI genes, and this region has been referred to as the mec complex. An analysis of these regulatory genes in 35 epidemic 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).

mecA Gene Is Widely Disseminated in Staphylococcus aureus Population [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2002 ABSTRACT Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most important causes of hospital infections worldwide. High-level resistance to methicillin is caused by the mecA gene, which encodes an alternative penicillin-binding protein, PBP 2a. To determine the clonal
