Molecular Analysis of Isoleucyl-tRNA Synthetase Mutations in Clinical Isolates of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus with Low-Level Mupirocin Resistance

Emergence and spread of low-level mupirocin resistance in staphylococci have been increasingly reported in recent years. The aim of this study was to characterize missense mutations within the chromosomal isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase gene (ileS) among clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylo...
