Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(9):1224-1233.   Published online September 15, 1998
Purpose : Low-affinity penicillin-binding protein PBP 2a encoded by mecA is closely related to methicillin resistance in staphylococci, and the expression of PBP 2a is controlled by regulator elements encoded by mecR1 and mecI. Deletion or mutation which occurred in mecI is considered to be associated with constitutive production of PBP 2a. We investigated the distribution of mec regulator genes...
