Role of penicillinase plasmids in the stability of the mecA gene in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy - 1 Apr 1990

Abstract excerpt

The stability of methicillin resistance (Mcr) in three independent clinical isolates, MR108, MR6, and MR61, of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was studied. The Mcr phenotype was stably maintained in the progeny of all three MRSA clones carrying penicillinase plasmids. However, when the clones were tested after elimination of the plasmids, methicillin-susceptible (Mcs) subclones appeared at...
