Frequency of disinfectant resistance genes and genetic linkage with beta-lactamase transposon Tn552 among clinical staphylococci.

PMID 12183231 · 2002

The study identifies the presence of disinfectant resistance genes qacA/B and beta-lactamase gene blaZ in clinical staphylococci, highlighting their genetic linkage with the transposon Tn552. It also reports the presence of the tetracycline resistance gene tetK in these isolates.
