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

open access: yesSri 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 ...

Genomic insights into the rapid emergence and evolution of MDR in Staphylococcus pseudintermedius. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
OBJECTIVES: MDR methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) strains have emerged rapidly as major canine pathogens and present serious treatment issues and concerns to public health due to their, albeit low, zoonotic potential. A further

Methicillin-resistant staphylococci [PDF]

open access: yesClinical 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.

Methicillin-resistant staphylococci [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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.

Inducible clindamycin resistance among Staphylococcal clinical isolates from Tripoli Central Hospital, Libya

open access: yesLibyan International Medical University Journal, 2017
Background: The resistance to antimicrobial agents among Staphylococci is an increasing problem. This has led to a renewed interest in the usage of macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B (MLSB) antibiotics to treat staphylococcal infections.

Non-susceptibility trends among methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated from blood cultures [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Biological Sciences, 2014
Coagulase-negative staphylococci are a significant cause of hospital-acquired bacteremias. There is an increase of infections induced by methicillin-resistant strains, with growing resistance to other antibiotics.
