Penicillin-Binding Proteins and Associated Protein Mutations Confer Oxacillin/Cefoxitin Tolerance in Borderline Oxacillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
29 Sept 2020
Abstract excerpt
Among clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus , borderline oxacillin-resistant S. aureus (BORSA), which is mildly resistant to oxacillin (OXA) without harboring the mecA or mecC gene, is considered a risk factor for further resistance against multiple antibiotics. In this study, BORSA isolates and their derivatives were characterized through antibiotic susceptibility testing and mutation analysis of the genes...
