Staphylococcus sciuri bacteriophages double-convert for staphylokinase and phospholipase, mediate interspecies plasmid transduction, and package mecA gene

Scientific Reports, 2017
Staphylococcus sciuri is a bacterial pathogen associated with infections in animals and humans, and represents a reservoir for the mecA gene encoding methicillin-resistance in staphylococci. No S. sciuri siphophages were known.

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.

Prevalence of mecA gene among staphylococci from clinical samples of a tertiary hospital in Benin City, Nigeria

African Health Sciences, 2017
Background The staphylococci have increasingly been associated with infections worldwide and anti-microbial resistance has made these versatile pathogens more recalcitrant in the hospital setting.

Combating Staphylococcus aureus and its methicillin resistance gene (mecA) with cold plasma [PDF]

Science of The Total Environment, 2018
The increase in antibiotic resistance has become a global challenge to public health. In this study, an atmospheric cold plasma (ACP) system was applied for combating methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and its methicillin resistance gene (mecA) during food wastewater treatment. The plate count and flow cytometry methods were employed to

Comparison of Real-Time PCR with Disk Diffusion, Agar Screen and E-test Methods for Detection of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]

, 2010
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a nosocomial pathogen. Our main objective was to compare oxacillin disk test, oxacillin E-test, and oxacillin agar screen for detection of methicillin resistance in S.

A preliminary study of mecA gene expression and methicillin resistance in staphylococci isolated from the human oral cavity

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 ...

Multi-dimensional genomic analysis of myoepithelial carcinoma identifies prevalent oncogenic gene fusions

Nature Communications, 2017
Myoepithelial carcinoma (MECA) is a rare aggressive salivary gland cancer. Here, the authors analyze the genomic landscape of MECA and identify a high prevalence of oncogenic gene fusions, primarily PLAG1 fusions, highlighting TGFBR3-PLAG1 as a potential
