Analysis of Borderline‐Resistant Strains of Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Using Polymerase Chain Reaction

1 May 1992

Abstract excerpt

Identification of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus by drug-susceptibility tests alone poses a serious problem, because a considerable number of clinical S. aureus isolates are borderline resistant to methicillin. To circumvent this problem, we have developed a quick and sensitive method of PCR amplification for the detection of mecA gene, which, coding for PBP2', is the specific genetic element of...
