Ceftaroline resistance in Staphylococcus pseudintermedius gene mecA carriers [PDF]

Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira, 2018
ABSTRACT: Infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) being a constant concern, ceftaroline fosamil has been recently approved as a new cephalosporin, active against MRSA, for use in humans; only rare cases of resistance have been reported till date.

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 ...

Detection of the Staphylococcal mecA gene by chemiluminescent DNA hybridization [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1995
A new solution-phase DNA hybridization capture assay for the rapid detection of the mecA gene in clinical isolates of Staphylococcus was compared with multiplex PCR and disk diffusion methods. The assay uses a DNA capture probe immobilized on paramagnetic particles and a second DNA probe labeled with an acridinium ester. Bacteria from 24-h cultures are

Genetic organization of mecA and mecA-regulatory genes in epidemic methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus from Australia and England [PDF]

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2002
The mecA gene that encodes methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus may be regulated by the mecR1 and mecI genes, and this region has been referred to as the mec complex. An analysis of these regulatory genes in 35 epidemic methicillin-resistant S.

Primer Design and Analysis for Detection of mecA gene

Journal of Tropical Pharmacy and Chemistry, 2021
MecA is a gene that causes antibiotic resistance and it contained in Staphylococcus aureus. The gene can be detected using pairs of primer (forward and reverse). Primes is short nucleotide that are used as attachment point for DNA polymerase and as a barrier for the fragment DNA target to be amplified with Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).

mecA Gene Is Widely Disseminated in Staphylococcus aureus Population [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2002
ABSTRACT Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most important causes of hospital infections worldwide. High-level resistance to methicillin is caused by the mecA gene, which encodes an alternative penicillin-binding protein, PBP 2a. To determine the clonal

Phenotypic and Genotypic Characterization of Methicillin Resistance in Staphylococci Isolated from an Egyptian University Hospital

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
