How does Staphylococcus aureus become resistant to methicillin? by seoxpert(m): 6:55pm On Sep 28, 2018 |
Methicillin resistance in S. aureus is primarily due to the acquisition of the mecA gene, which encodes an altered penicillin-binding protein (PBP2a) that has a low affinity for beta-lactam antibiotics. |
