چکیده
A simple method is described for the detection of methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus by a disc-diffusion test on 5% NaCl agar. Information is given about the incidence of these strains in the Plymouth area.

Modified DNA Extraction for Rapid PCR Detection of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococci
Nosocomial infection caused by methicillin-resistant staphylococci poses a serious problem in many countries. The aim of this study was to rapidly and reliably detect methicillin-resistant-staphylococci in order to suggest appropriate therapy. The presence or absence of the methicillin-resistance gene in 115 clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus and 50 isolates of Coagulase Negative Staphy...

Background: Staphylococci as a micro-organism, has the most importance to cause nosocomial infections, particularly in patients with indwelling catheters or other medical devices. Unfortunately 90% of Staphylococci isolated from the nosocomial infections are resistant to methicillin, and methicillin resistance strains are also resistant to a wide range of antimicrobial drugs, therefore detectin...

The emergence of Staphylococcus strains resistant to methicillin occurred shortly after the introduction of methicillin into clinical use . Resistance to methicillin in clinical isolates of Staphylococci has been explained by the production of a characteristic penicillin-binding protein (PBP) , designated PBP2a, that has a decrea...

Reports of the isolation of methicillin-resistant strains of coagulase-positive Staphylococcus aureus from patients in hospitals have appeared since 1961, and the estimated incidence of such strains is very variable. Recently in this laboratory several strains of Staph. aureus isolated were noted togivea diminished zone of inhibition with a 10 ,tg methicillin disc on routine sensitivity testing...
