The resistance mechanisms of methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus saprophyticus were characterized. Penicillin-binding protein (PBP) studies demonstrated an inducible PBP identical to PBP 2a in the membranes of these isolates. The amount of beta-lactamase produced was minimal. PBP 2a is responsible for the methicillin resistance observed in these strains of S. saprophyticus.
对腐生葡萄球菌耐甲氧西林菌株的耐药机制进行了表征。青霉素结合蛋白(PBP)研究表明,这些分离株的膜中有一种可诱导的PBP,与PBP 2a相同。产生的β-内酰胺酶量极少。PBP 2a是这些腐生葡萄球菌菌株中观察到的甲氧西林耐药性的原因。
