Detection of mecA Gene and Identification of Potential Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus in Hospital Wastewater Samples

Abstract: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most important causes of hospital infections worldwide. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) tends to be resistant to multiple antibiotics. High-level resistance to antibiotics is caused by the mecA gene, which encodes an alternative penicillin-binding protein, PBP 2a. The present study was aimed to detect mecA in potential Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates in clinical wastewater. Three hospital wastewater samples were… Show more
