Fitness cost of SCCmec and methicillin resistance levels in Staphylococcus aureus.

Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy - 1 Jun 2004

Ender Miriam, McCallum Nadine, Adhikari Rajan, Berger-Bächi Brigitte

Abstract excerpt

Transformation of a type I SCCmec element into Staphylococcus aureus yielded highly oxacillin-resistant transformants with a reduced growth rate. Faster-growing variants could again be selected at the cost of reduced resistance levels, demonstrating an inverse correlation between oxacillin resistance levels and growth rate.
