Abstract excerpt
MALDI-TOF MS-based peak differences in oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and oxacillin-susceptible S. aureus isolates have been described previously. Unfortunately, these isolates were not isogenic with respect to their mecA gene. Ours is the first to use a SCCmec-harboring parent and a SCCmec-lacking daughter strain, with the same genetic background, to unequivocally rule out strain-specific protein...
