Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) infections, which are always
methicillin-resistant, are a rare but serious public health concern. We examined 2 cases in …

A multiplex PCR was developed to detect the coagulase gene (coa; pathognomic
ofStaphylococcus aureus) and the mecA gene (characteristically encoding for methicillin …

Reasons for performing study: The increasing prevalence of antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria
such as methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and antimicrobial‐resistant …

The presence of the ileS-2 gene, responsible for mupirocin resistance, in clinical isolates of
methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was determined by multiplex polymerase chain …

Objective—To determine the methicillin-resistant profile of staphylococcal isolates from the
skin of dogs with pyoderma. Animals—90 dogs with pyoderma. Procedure—Staphylococci …

A multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) targeting the mecA and nuc
genes was developed for the detection of methicillin resistance and identification of …

A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR), involving detection of the mecA and femB
genes, was combined with a novel immunoassay system capable of detecting specific PCR …

Antibiotic usage has become very widespread in aquaculture, and the abuse or overuse of
antibiotics has led to the evolution of antibiotic-resistance bacteria, which has adverse …

ABSTRACT MRSA Select agar was compared to CHROMagar, mannitol-salt agar with
oxacillin, and mannitol-salt agar with cefoxitin (MSA-CFOX) for the isolation of methicillin …

Multiplex amplification of femA and mecA genetic determinants allowed an early and rapid
identification of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in endotracheal …
