Analysis of diversity of mutations in the mecI gene and mecA promoter/operator region of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis.

Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy - 1 Mar 1998

Kobayashi N, Taniguchi K, Urasawa S

Abstract excerpt

Genomic diversity of mutation in the mecI gene or mecA promoter/operator region was analyzed for clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE). In most MRSA strains, a single base substitution was detected in either the mecI (three different positions) or the mecA promoter (two different positions), while a 28-base deletion in mecI was found in one...
