Genetic analysis of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus expressing high- and low-level mupirocin resistance
1 Oct 2001
Abstract excerpt
Clinical strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) expressing high- and low-level mupirocin resistance were studied to determine the genetic location of mupirocin and other resistance determinants. Mupirocin resistance was confirmed by MIC determination with E-test strips. Curing and transfer experiments were used to establish the genetic location of the resistance determinants and the PCR...
