Phenotypic Changes of Oxacillin Resistance in Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strains by Successive Passaging

Journal of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, 2020
Background and purpose: Rotational use of antibiotics can decrease antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus strains. The present study aimed to evaluate the alteration of oxacillin resistance in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA ...

Characterization of SCCmec types, antibiotic resistance, and toxin gene profiles of Staphylococcus aureus strains

, 2013
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) causes serious nosocomial and community acquired infections. Resistance to methicillin is mediated by the mecA gene, which is inserted in a mobile genetic element called staphylococcal cassette ...

Variability of Recombinase Genes and Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mecA of Staphylococcus Haemolyticus

Антибиотики и Химиотерапия, 2020
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS), in particular Staphylococcus haemolyticus, play an important role in the etiology of nosocomial infections. Most CNS are resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics, which is realized through the production of the second ...

SCCmec typing of PVL-positive community-acquired Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) at a Japanese hospital

, 2019
The epidemiology of Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-positive MRSA in community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) was examined. Three hundred and forty-two CA-MRSA strains that were susceptible to imipenem and cefazolin were

Molecular typing of Methicillin-resistant and Methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus and Coagulase-negative staphylococci recovered in Irish hospitals and characterisation of SCCmec and SCCmec-containing composite islands

, 2014
THESIS 10383Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are a major cause of infections in animals and humans. The methicillin resistance gene mecA is located on a mobile genetic element termed the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCC/nec).
