Prevalence, Antimicrobial Resistance Profile, and Multidrug Resistance of Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MDR‐MRSA) in Clinical Isolates From Indonesian Healthcare Facility: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a significant pathogen associated with hospital‐acquired infections, with its global prevalence, including in Indonesia, steadily increasing. However, comprehensive data on MRSA prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility within Indonesian hospital settings remain ...

Prevalence of mecA, mecC and Panton-Valentine-Leukocidin Genes in Clinical Isolates of Coagulase Positive Staphylococci from Dermatological Canine Patients

Microorganisms, 2022
Coagulase positive Staphylococci (CoPS) are the leading cause of canine cutaneous and otic infections. Virulence factors associated with Staphylococci include the expression of mec and panton-valentine leukocidin (pvl) genes.

Absence of meca gene in methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus isolates

African Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2010
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus has emerged as a serious threat to public health, causing both hospital and community-associated infections. The gold standard for MRSA detection isthe amplification of the mecA gene that codes for the production of the altered penicillin-binding protein (PBP2a) responsible for classical methicillin ...

Enzymatic DNA Reaction Networks for Orchestrating Stimuli‐Dependent Temporal Molecular Pulse

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 38, 9 July 2026.
We present an enzymatic DNA reaction network (EDRN) that encodes nucleic‐acid targets in time, converting inputs into a universal strand and then into programmable transient fluorescence pulses. With time‐color multiplexing, EDRN enables single‐tube high‐plex nucleic acid detection and shows strong agreement with clinical sequencing across 32 specimens.

The anti-repressor MecR2 promotes the proteolysis of the mecA repressor and enables optimal expression of β-lactam resistance in MRSA. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2012
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important human pathogen, which is cross-resistant to virtually all β-lactam antibiotics. MRSA strains are defined by the presence of mecA gene.

Correlation of Oxacillin MIC with mecA Gene Carriage in Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2000
ABSTRACT The National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards has recently changed the oxacillin breakpoint from ≥4 mg/liter to ≥0.5 mg/liter to detect methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) because the previous breakpoint lacked sensitivity.

Greater Resistance to Drought‐Induced Embolism Is Linked to Higher Yield Maintenance in Soybean

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 4027-4040, July 2026.
ABSTRACT With increasing drought events worldwide, crop breeding must focus on drought resistance to maintain crop yields. To ensure a high level of gas exchange and growth, plants need to maintain the integrity of their vascular system under drought conditions. While the impact of drought‐induced vascular damage on tree species is well‐documented, its

DETECTION OF MECA GENE IN METHICILLIN-RESISTANCE STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS (MRSA) STRAINS ISOLATED FROM BEEF MEAT USING POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION [PDF]

Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal, 2016
A total of 60 random samples of meat were collected from different butchers shops at Port- Said city and subjected to bacteriological examination. The prevalence of Staph. aureus coagulase positive was 10 (16. 6%). The coagulase positiveStaph.

Standard Single Antigen HLA Luminex Panels Predict Most, but Not All, Antibody Reactivity Against Alleles in Extended Panels

HLA, Volume 108, Issue 1, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Current Luminex platforms cannot represent the totality of polymorphism in human HLA. Although supplemental, extended panels are available, they are not universally applied and their diagnostic value is uncertain. It is unclear whether standard bead kits can accurately predict the reactivity seen in extended panels.

Global prevalence and dynamics of mecA and mecC genes in MRSA: Meta-meta-analysis, meta-regression, and temporal investigation

Journal of Infection and Public Health
This study aimed to conduct first robust meta-meta-analysis on mecC and mecA-positive MRSA strains, determining their overall prevalence and temporal trends. It encompassed 14 meta-analyses, involving 322,269 samples from 553 index studies.
