Genomic diversity of mutation in the mecI gene or mecA promoter/operator region was analyzed for clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE). In most MRSA strains, a single base substitution was detected in either the mecI (three different positions) or the mecA promoter (two different positions), while a 28-base deletion in mecI was found in one strain. In contrast, no mutation was detected in these gene sequences of MRSE strains.
对耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)和表皮葡萄球菌(MRSE)的临床分离株,分析了mecI基因或mecA启动子/操纵子区域的突变基因组多样性。在大多数MRSA菌株中,在mecI(三个不同位置)或mecA启动子(两个不同位置)中检测到单个碱基替换,而在一个菌株中发现mecI有28个碱基的缺失。相比之下,在MRSE菌株的这些基因序列中未检测到突变。
