A Plasmid-Borne System To Assess the Excision and Integration of Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec Mediated by CcrA and CcrB.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Sept 2015

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Resistance to methicillin and other β-lactam antibiotics in staphylococci is due to mecA, which is carried on a genomic island, staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec). The chromosomal excision and integration of SCCmec are mediated by the site-specific recombinase CcrAB or CcrC, encoded within this element. A plasmid-borne system was constructed to assess the activities of CcrA and CcrB in...
