A preliminary study of mecA gene expression and methicillin resistance in staphylococci isolated from the human oral cavity
<p>Introduction: Staphylococci are common human commensals that acquire methicillin resistance via the mecA gene. Methicillin resistance in staphylococci from various clinical sources has been assessed using cefoxitin disc diffusion test (CDDT) and PCR detection of the mecA gene. However, oral...
