Resistance Genes of Antibacterial Agents in MRSA and MSSA / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To investigate the condition of drug-resistant genes in MRSA and MSSA. METHODS The drug-resistant genes mecA,ermA/B/C,aac(6′)/aph(2″),aph(3′)-Ⅲ,ant(4′,4″) and tetM of MRSA and MSSA were detected by polymerase chain reaction(PCR). RESULTS The 5 kinds of drug-resistant genes,such as mecA,ermA/B/C,aac(6′)/aph(2″),(aph(3′)-Ⅲ) and tetM were positive in MRSA. CONCLUSIONS MRSA is a multi-resistant pathogen.
