Draft genome sequence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis strain ET-024, isolated from an endotracheal tube biofilm of a mechanically ventilated patient [PDF]
, 2014 Staphylococcus epidermidis strain ET-024 was isolated from a biofilm on an endotracheal tube of a mechanically ventilated patient. This strain is resistant to methicillin and the draft genome sequence shares some characteristics with other nosocomial S ...

Yonsei Medical Journal, 1998 Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) produces specific penicillin-binding protein, PBP2', which shows remarkably low affinities to most beta-lactam antibiotics except those such as penicillin G and ampicillin. The region surrounding mecA has been called additional DNA or mec and is thought to be of extraspecies origin.

Reply to ‘Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus’ [PDF]
Journal of Cystic Fibrosis, 2013 Turner et al. [1] raise an important and timely issue about the management of CF patients suffering chronic infection with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), given that the prevalence of MRSA in respiratory cultures of CF patients has increased over the past decade.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus: the superbug [PDF]
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2010 Over the last decade, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains have emerged as serious pathogens in the nosocomial and community setting. Hospitalization costs associated with MRSA infections are substantially greater than those associated with methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) infections, and MRSA has wider economic effects that
