Cloning and characterization of a gene affecting the methicillin resistance level and the autolysis rate in Staphylococcus aureus.

Tn918 mutagenesis of a high-level methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin MIC, 800 micrograms/ml) led to the isolation of a low-resistance mutant. The Tn918 insert was transferred back to the parent to produce strain SRM563 (methicillin MIC, 12.5 micrograms/ml), which showed heterog...
