erythromycin resistance
Overview
Genome sequence of a recently emerged, highly transmissible, multi-antibiotic- and antiseptic-resistant variant of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, sequence type 239 (TW).
The study identifies several AMR genes and mutations in the MRSA strain TW20, including mecA for methicillin resistance, qacA for antiseptic resistance, Tn554 and ermA1 for streptomycin and erythromycin resistance, BlaZ for beta-lactam resistance, TetM for tetracycline resistance, and DfrG for trimethoprim resistance. Additionally, a point mutation in GyrA (Ser84Leu) confers quinolone resistance.
Metabolic activity, urease production, antibiotic resistance and virulence in dual species biofilms of Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus.
The study identified the upregulation of antibiotic resistance genes in dual species biofilms of Staphylococcus epidermidis ET-024 and Staphylococcus aureus Mu50, including aacA, ermA-1, ermA-2, ermA-3, and mecA, which confer resistance to aminoglycosides, macrolides, and beta-lactams, respectively.
