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

MRSA/MSSA causing infections: prevalence of mecA gene
European Journal of Public Health, 2020 Abstract Introduction Staphylococcus aureus is part of the human flora, present in the skin and mucous membranes but can become pathogenic, causing a wide spectrum of infections that were initially treated with penicillin. However, were observed some strains with resistance to this antibiotic and, therefore was developed a new antibiotic,

Vancomycin-induced deletion of the methicillin resistance gene mecA in Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2004 To elucidate factors that contribute to the development of vancomycin resistance in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).Forty-nine MRSA isolates were subjected to passage selection with vancomycin to isolate mutants with reduced susceptibility to vancomycin.

Identification of MRSA(methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus) by mecA gene
Al-Salam Journal for Medical Science, 2022 Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that may be found in the skin and upper respiratory system. Although S.aureus is a normal flora, it has evolved into an opportunistic pathogen that causes numerous infections that are difficult to cure due to the presence of virulence genes.
