Cloning and Occurrence of <i>czrC</i> , a Gene Conferring Cadmium and Zinc Resistance in Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> CC398 Isolates
29 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
We recently reported a phenotypic association between reduced susceptibility to zinc and methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus CC398 isolates from Danish swine (F. M. Aarestrup, L. M. Cavaco, and H. Hasman, Vet. Microbiol. 142:455-457, 2009). The aim of this study was to identify the genetic determinant causing zinc resistance in CC398 and examine its prevalence in isolates of animal and human origin....
