A DNA probe was developed by inserting, in the SmaI site of pBluescript sK, a 528-bp fragment of the gene responsible for intrinsic resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics in Staphylococcus aureus (mec determinant). The mec probe provided a useful tool for the rapid identification of the intrinsic resistance trait and for establishing guidelines for testing the in vitro susceptibility of S. aureus to beta-lactams.
通过将金黄色葡萄球菌中负责对β-内酰胺抗生素固有耐药性的基因(mec决定簇)的一个528碱基对片段插入到pBluescript sK的SmaI位点,构建了一个DNA探针。该mec探针为快速鉴定固有耐药性状以及制定检测金黄色葡萄球菌对β-内酰胺类药物体外敏感性的指南提供了一个有用的工具。
