Methicillin-resistant staphylococci.
Strains of staphylococci resistant to methicillin were identified immediately after introduction of this drug. Methicillin-resistant strains have unusual properties, the most notable of which is extreme variability in expression of the resistance trait. The conditions associated with this heterogeneous expression of resistance are described. Methicillin resistance is associated with production ...
متن کاملMethicillin-resistant staphylococci.
Eighteen strains of Staph. pyogenes (nine penicillin-sensitive and nine penicillin-destroying) were passaged 40 to 50 times on Celbenin(1) ditch plates. All strains developed an increase in resistance to Celbenin and eight strains (four penicillin-sensitive and four penicillin-destroying) were able to grow in 100 mug/ml. or more Celbenin. Resistance was of the drug-tolerant type and none of the...

Bacteriol. 87:887-899. 1964.-Cultures of naturally occurring methicillin-resistant staphylococci obtained from a number of hospitals were examined for the nature and degree of resistance to methicillin and other antibiotics. All the cul...
متن کاملScreening Public Surfaces for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococci
Illnesses resulting from antibiotic-resistant bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), are increasing. Recent evidence shows that pathogens once associated with clinical settings are now contaminating non-clinical environments, including public facilities. While methods of isolation and detection of MRSA in clinical settings are established, methods to detect MRSA...
متن کاملModified DNA Extraction for Rapid PCR Detection of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococci
Nosocomial infection caused by methicillin-resistant staphylococci poses a serious problem in many countries. The aim of this study was to rapidly and reliably detect methicillin-resistant-staphylococci in order to suggest appropriate therapy. The presence or absence of the methicillin-resistance gene in 115 clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus and 50 isolates of Coagulase Negative Staphy...
