Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The bla regulatory system is critical in the regulation of mecA expression particularly when staphylococci lack the mec regulator. We sought to evaluate the effect of bla regulators on the cryptic methicillin-resistant phenotype and resistance conversion under β-lactam exposure in oxacillin-susceptible or oxacillin-resistant mecA-positive staphylococcal isolates. METHODS: Methicillin-resistant...
