PCR assays in detecting methicillin resistance in staphylococci: Coagulase negative staphylococci (CNS), S. aureus, and MRSA with the PVL gene
Methicillin resistance, in particular hetero-methicillin resistance, in S aureus and the coagulase negative staphylococci (CNS) can be difficult to detect by phenotypic methods. Subsequently detection of the mecA gene for determining methicillin resistance in staphylococci is generally considered to...
