Survey of the methicillin resistance-associated genes mecA, mecR1-mecI, and femA-femB in clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

1 Dec 1992

Abstract excerpt

The restriction site polymorphism of the chromosomal femAB region and the first appearance of the regulatory element mecR1-mecI associated with the methicillin resistance determinant (mec) were analyzed in 192 initially methicillin resistant (Mcr) Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates collected between 1965 and 1990 in the Zurich area. Forty-three of the strains lost the resistance spontaneously. All isolates...
