Distribution of MecA and Erm Genes among Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus with Inducible Resistance to Clindamycin

Journal of Nepal Health Research Council, 2023
Background: The emergence of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and its ability to confer cross-resistance to macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B has complicated the treatment against it.

Comparative Analysis of mecA and nuc Gene Sequences of Staphylococcus aureus Strains Isolated from Human Urine Samples

, 2017
In the present study twenty five human urine samples of hospital patients were screened for Staphylococcus aureus. Twenty percent of the samples were positive for Staphylococcus aureus as yellow colonies were observed aerobically on mannitol salt agar ...

The distribution of plasmids that carry virulence and resistance genes in Staphylococcus aureus is lineage associated. [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus is major human and animal pathogen. Plasmids often carry resistance genes and virulence genes that can disseminate through S. aureus populations by horizontal gene transfer (HGT) mechanisms. Sequences of S.

Absence of the mecC gene in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated from various clinical samples: The first multi-centered study in Turkey

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2019
Background: mecA is a predefined gene causing methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) isolates; however, it has been shown that some methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains do not carry this gene. Recently, in isolates found to

Extensive horizontal gene transfer during Staphylococcus aureus co-colonization in vivo. [PDF]

, 2014
Staphylococcus aureus is a commensal and major pathogen of humans and animals. Comparative genomics of S. aureus populations suggests that colonization of different host species is associated with carriage of mobile genetic elements (MGE), particularly ...

Frequency of mecA and blaZ genes in isolates of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from clinical samples by PCR method

مجله دانشگاه علوم پزشکی گرگان, 2020
Background and Objective: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is the most common cause of nosocomial infections. Treatment of Staphylococcal infections has become more complicated due to the emergence of methicillin-resistant S.aureus (MRSA) strains.

Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Nasal Colonization among Healthcare Workers at Kampala International University Teaching Hospital, Southwestern Uganda

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, 2019
Whereas Staphylococcus aureus is a pathogen, it colonizes healthy people as normal flora without causing any symptoms or illness. Probably because of greater exposure, healthcare workers (HCWs) are more colonized, serving as reservoir for endogenous ...

Nasopharyngeal Carriage Rate, Risk Factors, and Co‐Resistance Patterns of Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Ethiopia: Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
This systematic review and meta‐analysis show that nasopharyngeal carriage of methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus remains an important public health concern in Ethiopia. High resistance to commonly used antibiotics and significant associations with prior hospitalization and antibiotic use highlight the need for strengthened antimicrobial ...
