MecA gene was detected in 60% of examined Staph. aureus isolates. Vancomycin-resistant genes (VanA, vanB, vanX) of examined Staph. aureus isolates were positive for vanA (30%) but vanB and vanX genes were not detected. Results revealed that both products are considered as a source o...

that of S. aureus infections rather than that caused by other coagulase- negative staphylococci. In addition,these organisms are frequently misidentified as S. aureus because of the similare morphologic appearance with yellow pigmentation and complete hemolysis when cultured on blood agar.The types of ...

S. aureus normally produces four PBPs, which are susceptible to modification by/3-1actam antibiotics, an event that leads to bacterial death. The gene product of mecA from MRSA is a penicillin-binding protein (PBP) designated PBP 2a. PBP 2a is refractory to the action of all commercially ...
beta-Lactam resistance levels vary among methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clinical isolates, mediated by chromosomal mutations and exogenous resistance gene mecA. However, MRSA resistance mechanisms are incompletely understood. A P440L mutation in the RNA polymerase beta' subunit (RpoC) ...
