Sri Lankan Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019 Introduction: Staphylococci are common human commensals that acquire methicillin resistance via the mecA gene. Methicillin resistance in staphylococci from various clinical sources has been assessed using cefoxitin disc diffusion test (CDDT) and PCR ...

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

Pathogens, 2023 Methicillin-resistant in Staphylococci is a serious public health issue. It is mostly encoded by the mecA gene. The mecC gene is a new mecA analog responsible for resistance to methicillin in some Staphylococcal clinical isolates. This mecC gene is still

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2017 In the present study twenty five human urine samples of hospital patients were screened for Staphylococcus aureus. Twenty percent of the samples were positive for Staphylococcus aureus as yellow colonies were observed aerobically on mannitol salt agar ...

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.

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)
