The distribution of mecA, mecR1 and mecI and sequence analysis of mecI and the mec promoter region in staphylococci expressing resistance to methicillin.

The Journal of antimicrobial chemotherapy - 1 Jan 1999

Weller T M

Abstract excerpt

The presence and sequences of genes that regulate the expression of methicillin resistance was investigated in 42 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus and 102 isolates of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS). PCR was used to detect mecA and the regulatory genes mecR1 and mecI. In a selected group of isolates, the sequences of mecI and the mec promoter region were also determined and compared with the sequences...
