Background: Phenotypic methods for detection of methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) can be inaccurate due to heterogeneous expression of resistance and due to environmental factors that influence the expression of resistance. This study aims to compare various phenotypic methods of detection of methicillin resistance with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for mecA gene and to detect the presence of oxacillin-susceptible MRSA (OS-MRSA).

在苯唑西林敏感 MRSA 出现的背景下，表型 MRSA 检测方法与 mecA 基因 PCR 的比较

背景：由于耐药性表达的异质性和影响耐药性表达的环境因素，检测金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)中甲氧西林耐药性的表型方法本研究旨在比较检测甲氧西林耐药性的各种表型方法与mecA基因的聚合酶链反应 (PCR) 并检测苯唑西林敏感 MRSA (OS-MRSA) 的存在。
