Abstract excerpt
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus can become resistant to many different classes of antibiotics. Objective: To characterize aminoglycoside and macrolide resistance mechanisms in MRSA strains in relation to antibiotic susceptibility patterns. Materials and methods: We tested 86 MRSA strains using multiplex PCR for detection of genes mecA, aac(6′)-Ie/aph(2″), ant(4′)-Ia, aph(3′)-IIIa, ermA, ermC and msrA....
