Of 27 unique clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, only 4 were homogeneously resistant, and all 4 produced little or no beta-lactamase. Among heterogeneously resistant strains, those most resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics produced the most beta-lactamase. Similar genes may regulate production of the low-affinity penicillin-binding protein and beta-lactamase.
在27株独特的耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌临床分离株中,只有4株是均一耐药的,并且这4株均产生很少的β-内酰胺酶或不产生β-内酰胺酶。在异质性耐药菌株中,那些对β-内酰胺类抗生素耐药性最强的菌株产生的β-内酰胺酶最多。相似的基因可能调控低亲和力青霉素结合蛋白和β-内酰胺酶的产生。
