Abstract excerpt
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) severely affects human health, including the skin glands, nasal cavity, wound infections, bone infections, and pneumonia. Among the most effective MRSA drugs, Cefoxitin also develops resistance due to mutations in the mecA gene. Four mutations at positions E229K, E239R, G246K, and E447K are classified as high-level resistance mutations. However, the resistance...
