SNP Scanning in mecA Gene for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus. [PDF]

Iran J Biotechnol, 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 ...

Evidence for the evolutionary steps leading to mecA-mediated β-lactam resistance in staphylococci. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2017
The epidemiologically most important mechanism of antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus is associated with mecA-an acquired gene encoding an extra penicillin-binding protein (PBP2a) with low affinity to virtually all β-lactams.

A potential role of transposon IS431 in the loss of mecA gene. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 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.

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

Braz J Microbiol, 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 ...

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

Open Forum Infect Dis, 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 ...

Variability of Recombinase Genes and Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mecA of Staphylococcus Haemolyticus

Антибиотики и Химиотерапия, 2020
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS), in particular Staphylococcus haemolyticus, play an important role in the etiology of nosocomial infections. Most CNS are resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics, which is realized through the production of the second ...

Screening for mecA and mecC Gene Carriage among Clinical Isolates of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus at a Tertiary Care Hospital: A Cross-sectional Study [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2023
Introduction: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) has emerged as one of the most important human pathogen, and has been a leading cause of hospital and community acquired infections. Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carrying the mecA gene

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 ...
