Clinical and epidemiological factors associated with methicillin resistance in community-onset invasive Staphylococcus aureus infections: prospective multicenter cross-sectional study in Korea. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Successful empirical therapy of Staphylococcus aureus infections requires the ability to predict methicillin resistance. Our aim was to identify predictors of methicillin resistance in community-onset (CO) invasive S. aureus infections. Sixteen hospitals

Survival of Staphylococcus aureus ST398 in the human nose after artificial inoculation. [PDF]
, 2012 There is evidence that MRSA ST398 of animal origin is only capable of temporarily occupying the human nose, and it is therefore, often considered a poor human colonizer.We inoculated 16 healthy human volunteers with a mixture of the human MSSA strain ...

Methicillin Resistance of Food-Borne Biofilm-Forming Staphylococci
Applied Sciences, 2023 The aim of this study was to evaluate the biofilm-forming ability and the resistance of planktonic cells and biofilm to methicillin (MIC and MBC, and log CFU/cm2 reduction, respectively).

High-level mupirocin resistance in methicillin-resistant staphylococci isolated from dogs and cats
BMC Veterinary Research, 2019 Background Mupirocin is one of the few antimicrobials active against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and is frequently used for the eradication of MRSA nasal colonisation in humans.

Methicillin-resistant staphylococci [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 1988 Strains of staphylococci resistant to methicillin were identified immediately after introduction of this drug. Methicillin-resistant strains have unusual properties, the most notable of which is extreme variability in expression of the resistance trait.

Towards an Ontological Representation of Resistance: The Case of MRSa [PDF]
, 2009 This paper addresses a family of issues surrounding the biological phenomenon of resistance and its representation in realist ontologies. Resistance terms from various existing ontologies are examined and found to be either overly narrow, inconsistent ...

Methicillin-resistant staphylococci [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1961 Eighteen strains of Staph. pyogenes (nine penicillin-sensitive and nine penicillin-destroying) were passaged 40 to 50 times on Celbenin1 ditch plates. All strains developed an increase in resistance to Celbenin and eight strains (four penicillin-sensitive and four penicillin-destroying) were able to grow in 100 μg/ml.
