Physical mapping of the mec region of an Australian methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus lineage and a closely related American strain.

Journal of general microbiology - 1 Jan 1992

Dubin D T, Chikramane S G, Inglis B, Matthews P R, Stewart P R

Abstract excerpt

Methicillin-resistant (Mcr) staphylococci contain chromosomal DNA that is absent from Mcs cells. This extra DNA harbours the methicillin resistance determinant mec and often other resistance determinants. The mec region can differ substantially in structure among different isolates. We present studies on the mec region of a group of Staphylococcus aureus isolates prevalent in Australia and London. Southern...
