Genetic analysis of mecA gene and detection of homologue pbpD in Stahylococcus sciuri group [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2014 Oxacillin/methicillin-resistance is related to the mecA and its regulatory genes mecR1 and mecI. Its origin is still unknown, although evidences support that it is related to CNS, once mecA and a homologue gene, pbpD, were both detected in Staphylococcus sciuri species group. The present work evaluated 210 samples of skin and ear swabs from rodents and

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Background and Aims Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a significant pathogen associated with hospital‐acquired infections, with its global prevalence, including in Indonesia, steadily increasing. However, comprehensive data on MRSA prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility within Indonesian hospital settings remain ...

Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2015 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. This study determined the prevalence of methicillin-resistant S.

The anti-repressor MecR2 promotes the proteolysis of the mecA repressor and enables optimal expression of β-lactam resistance in MRSA. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2012 Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important human pathogen, which is cross-resistant to virtually all β-lactam antibiotics. MRSA strains are defined by the presence of mecA gene.

Enzymatic DNA Reaction Networks for Orchestrating Stimuli‐Dependent Temporal Molecular Pulse
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 38, 9 July 2026.We present an enzymatic DNA reaction network (EDRN) that encodes nucleic‐acid targets in time, converting inputs into a universal strand and then into programmable transient fluorescence pulses. With time‐color multiplexing, EDRN enables single‐tube high‐plex nucleic acid detection and shows strong agreement with clinical sequencing across 32 specimens.

Absence of meca gene in methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus isolates
African Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2010 Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus has emerged as a serious threat to public health, causing both hospital and community-associated infections. The gold standard for MRSA detection isthe amplification of the mecA gene that codes for the production of the altered penicillin-binding protein (PBP2a) responsible for classical methicillin ...

DETECTION OF MECA GENE IN METHICILLIN-RESISTANCE STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS (MRSA) STRAINS ISOLATED FROM BEEF MEAT USING POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION [PDF]
Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal, 2016 A total of 60 random samples of meat were collected from different butchers shops at Port- Said city and subjected to bacteriological examination. The prevalence of Staph. aureus coagulase positive was 10 (16. 6%). The coagulase positiveStaph.

Greater Resistance to Drought‐Induced Embolism Is Linked to Higher Yield Maintenance in Soybean
Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 4027-4040, July 2026.ABSTRACT With increasing drought events worldwide, crop breeding must focus on drought resistance to maintain crop yields. To ensure a high level of gas exchange and growth, plants need to maintain the integrity of their vascular system under drought conditions. While the impact of drought‐induced vascular damage on tree species is well‐documented, its

Correlation of Oxacillin MIC with mecA Gene Carriage in Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2000 ABSTRACT The National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards has recently changed the oxacillin breakpoint from ≥4 mg/liter to ≥0.5 mg/liter to detect methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) because the previous breakpoint lacked sensitivity.
