Disease relevance of Methicillin Resistance

Comparison of susceptibility testing methods with mecA gene analysis for determining oxacillin (methicillin) resistance in clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus spp [1].

High impact information on Methicillin Resistance

More recent data confirm that next to modifications in bacterial etiology in the ICU, the most alarming phenomenon is the methicillin-resistance of S. aureus (MRSA) [2].
Their susceptibility (S) or resistance (R) to pefloxacin, ciprofloxacin, enoxacin, ofloxacin (which have been used in therapy for several years) and to timentin as well, has been tested, in relation with methicillin susceptibility (MS) and methicillin resistance (MR) [3].
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus: comparison of susceptibility test methods with mecA gene analysis for determining oxacillin (methicillin) resistance in our clinical isolates [4].
