Distribution of mec regulator genes in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus clinical strains.

Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy - 1 Jun 1993

Suzuki E, Kuwahara-Arai K, Richardson J F, Hiramatsu K

Abstract excerpt

The distributions of the mec regulator genes mecI and mecR1, which were identified on the chromosome of mecA-carrying Staphylococcus aureus N315, in methicillin-resistant staphylococci isolated in Japan and various countries were studied. Screening by dot blot hybridization by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified probes revealed that at least the 5'-end region of the mecR1 gene was present in all...
