Key Findings
The study identifies three different homologues of the mecA gene, including mecA, mecA1, and mecC, in Staphylococcus sciuri subsp. carnaticus isolates. Both mecA and mecC were found to be expressed under laboratory conditions with low levels of oxacillin, contributing to the resistance phenotype.
