Vancomycin-induced deletion of the methicillin resistance gene mecA in Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2004
To elucidate factors that contribute to the development of vancomycin resistance in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).Forty-nine MRSA isolates were subjected to passage selection with vancomycin to isolate mutants with reduced susceptibility to vancomycin.

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.

Multi-dimensional genomic analysis of myoepithelial carcinoma identifies prevalent oncogenic gene fusions

Nature Communications, 2017
Myoepithelial carcinoma (MECA) is a rare aggressive salivary gland cancer. Here, the authors analyze the genomic landscape of MECA and identify a high prevalence of oncogenic gene fusions, primarily PLAG1 fusions, highlighting TGFBR3-PLAG1 as a potential
