Quantitation of mecA transcription in oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jun 2003

Rosato Adriana E, Craig William A, Archer Gordon L

Abstract excerpt

The transcription of mecA, the gene required for oxacillin resistance in staphylococci, was quantified in a collection of 65 geographically and genetically diverse clinical and 8 defined laboratory Staphylococcus aureus isolates. mecA transcription was measured by real-time reverse transcription-PCR, confirmed by Northern blot analysis, and correlated with the presence and DNA sequence of the two mecA repressors,...
