Association of virulence genes with mecA gene in Staphylococcus aureus isolates from Tertiary Hospitals in Nigeria.

Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2015
INTRODUCTION Staphylococcus aureus is the etiological agent for a wide range of human infections, and its pathogenicity largely depends on various virulence factors associated with adherence, evasion of the immune system and damage of the host.

MRSA Harboring mecA Variant Gene mecC, France

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
We describe human cases and clustered animal cases of mecALGA251–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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Molecular detection of mecA gene in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated from dairy mastitis in Nineveh governorate, Iraq

Iraqi Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2022
Staphylococcus ( S. ) aureus is universally the leading aetiologic cause of dairy mastitis. Additionally, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major pathogenic bacterium in veterinary medicine and public health. Sixty-six cattleʼs milk

Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA): Prevalence, Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern, and Detection of mecA Gene among Cardiac Patients from a Tertiary Care Heart Center in Kathmandu, Nepal

Infectious Diseases, 2021
Background: Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a significant human pathogen associated with nosocomial infections. mecA in the S. aureus is a marker of MRSA. The main objective of this study was to detect mecA and vanA genes conferring
