Detection of<i>mecA, femA</i>, and<i>femB</i>genes in clinical strains of staphylococci using polymerase chain reaction

1 Oct 1994

Abstract excerpt

MecA, a structural gene located on the chromosome of Staphylococcus aureus, characterizes methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), and femA and femB(fem) genes encode proteins which influence the level of methicillin resistance of S. aureus. In order to examine effectiveness of detecting mecA and fem genes in identification of MRSA, the presence of these genes in 237 clinically isolated strains of staphylococci...
