Detection of mutations in the FemXAB protein family in oxacillin-susceptible mecA-positive Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates

14 Feb 2010

Abstract excerpt

Objectives Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains that express the mecA gene but are oxacillin susceptible (OS-MRSA; oxacillin MIC </=2 mg/L) are increasingly reported. To gain molecular and functional insights on this observation, we focused on additional factors possibly contributing to phenotypic susceptibility. Methods The nucleotide content of mecA, femA, femB and femX genes, which are...
