Impairments of mecA gene detection in bovine Staphylococcus spp. [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2014
Staphylococcus aureus antimicrobial resistance, especially to beta-lactams, favors treatment failures and its persistence in herd environment. This work aimed to develop a more specific primer for mecA gene detection based on the comparison of the conserved regions from distinct host origins and also investigated the presence of homologue mecA(LGA251 ...

Identification of MRSA(methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus) by mecA gene

Al-Salam Journal for Medical Science, 2022
Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that may be found in the skin and upper respiratory system. Although S.aureus is a normal flora, it has evolved into an opportunistic pathogen that causes numerous infections that are difficult to cure due to the presence of virulence genes.

Systemic Analysis of the mecA Gene Using a Bioinformatics Tool [PDF]

Open Forum Infectious Diseases, 2017
BACKGROUND: The mecA gene, carried by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), allows the bacterium to promotes bacterial resistance to antibiotics such as methicillin, penicillin, and other penicillin-like antibiotics. Our objectives are to use a bioinformatics tool to analyze the sequence of the mecA gene, which is spread on the SCCmec ...

Developmental regulation of an organelle tether coordinates mitochondrial remodeling in meiosis. [PDF]

, 2018
Cellular differentiation involves remodeling cellular architecture to transform one cell type to another. By investigating mitochondrial dynamics during meiotic differentiation in budding yeast, we sought to understand how organelle morphogenesis is ...

Methicillin-resistance in Staphylococcus aureus is not affected by the overexpression in trans of the mecA gene repressor: a surprising observation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is intrinsically cross-resistant to virtually all β-lactam antibiotics. The central determinant for the MRSA phenotype is the mecA gene, whose transcriptional control may be mediated by a repressor (mecI)

Detection of mecC-Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates in river water : a potential role for water in the environmental dissemination [PDF]

, 2014
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a public health concern due to limited treatment options. The recent description of a mecA homologue, mecC in human and cattle, led to studies to detect this new variant in human and other animal ...

Staphylococcus saprophyticus Recovered from Humans, Food, and Recreational Waters in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. [PDF]

, 2017
Staphylococcus saprophyticus is an important agent of urinary tract infection (UTI) in young women, but information about this pathogen in human microbiota and in common environment is lacking. The aim of this study was to characterize S.

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.

Distribution of MecA and Erm Genes among Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus with Inducible Resistance to Clindamycin

Journal of Nepal Health Research Council, 2023
Background: The emergence of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and its ability to confer cross-resistance to macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B has complicated the treatment against it.
