Mechanisms of heteroresistance in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy - 1 Apr 1994

Ryffel C, Strässle A, Kayser F H, Berger-Bächi B

Abstract excerpt

Characteristic for methicillin-resistant (Mcr) staphylococci is the heterogeneous expression of the intrinsic methicillin resistance. The majority of the cells express resistance to low concentrations of methicillin, and a minority of the cells express resistance to much higher concentrations. We show here (i) that the presence of the mecA encoding region on plasmid pBBB79 was sufficient to render a...
