Molecular characterization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated from tertiary care hospitals

31 May 2014

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) tends to be resistant to multiple antibiotics. Methicillin resistance is conferred by the acquisition of the mecA gene, which is carried by a mobile genetic element called the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec). There are five major types of SCCmec elements (I-V). The majority of hospital-acquired MRSA (HA-MRSA) strains carry SCCmec...
