Bacteremia due to clonally derived methicillin-resistant, gentamicin-susceptible isolates and methicillin-susceptible, gentamicin-resistant isolates of Staphylococcus aureus.

PMID 17699649 · 2007

The study identified the deletion of the mecA, ant(4′)Ia, and aacA-aphD genes in Staphylococcus aureus isolates leading to the emergence of methicillin-susceptible, gentamicin-resistant and methicillin-resistant, gentamicin-susceptible strains.
