The 3.1-Mb genome of an outbreak methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strain (TW20) contains evidence of recently acquired DNA, including two large regions (635 kb and 127 kb). The strain is resistant to a wide range of antibiotics, antiseptics, and heavy metals due to resistance genes encoded on mobile genetic elements and also mutations in housekeeping genes.
一株暴发的耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)菌株(TW20)的 3.1Mb 基因组中含有近期获得的 DNA 的证据,包括两个大型区域(635kb 和 127kb)。由于移动遗传元件编码的耐药基因以及管家基因的突变,该菌株对广泛的抗生素、防腐剂和重金属具有耐药性。
