Key Genetic Elements and Regulation Systems in Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus Aureus</i>
17 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), popularly known as a type of superbug, has been a serious challenge for animal and human health. S. aureus has developed methicillin resistance mainly by expression of β-lactamase and PBP2a, which is regulated by the blaZ-blaI-blaR1 and mecA-mecI-mecRI systems. Other genetic elements, including murE and femA, also participate in expression of methicillin...
