<i>mecA</i> - <i>blaZ</i> Corepressors in Clinical <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Isolates

24 Mar 2003

Abstract excerpt

The presence and nucleotide sequences of the two mecA repressors, mecI and blaI, were assessed in 73 clinical Staphylococcus aureus isolates. Isolates with mecI mutations were grouped into unique clonal types based on their spa nucleotide repeat patterns. Forty-three of the 45 (96%) isolates with mutant mecI or with a deletion of mecI contained blaI, while blaI was present in only 21 of 28 (78%) isolates with...
