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.

Combating Staphylococcus aureus and its methicillin resistance gene (mecA) with cold plasma [PDF]
Science of The Total Environment, 2018 The increase in antibiotic resistance has become a global challenge to public health. In this study, an atmospheric cold plasma (ACP) system was applied for combating methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and its methicillin resistance gene (mecA) during food wastewater treatment. The plate count and flow cytometry methods were employed to

MRSA HarboringmecA Variant GenemecC, France
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012 We describe human cases and clustered animal cases of mecA(LGA251)-positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in France. Our report confirms that this new variant has a large distribution in Europe. It may represent a public health threat because phenotypic and genotypic tests seem unable to detect this new resistance mechanism.

Prevalence of mecC Gene in MRSA at A Tertiary Hospital in Medan, Indonesia
Journal of Pure and Applied MicrobiologyMethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is resistant to β-lactam antibiotics owing to the presence of mecA and mecC resistance genes. Resistance genes in MRSA are carried by a genetic component named staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec ...
