Redefining the Role of the β-Lactamase Locus in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus: β-Lactamase Regulators Disrupt the MecI-Mediated Strong Repression on mecA and Optimize the Phenotypic Expression of Resistance in Strains with Constitutive mecA Expression

In response to β-lactam chemotherapy, Staphylococcus aureus has acquired two resistance determinants: blaZ, coding for β-lactamase, which confers resistance to penicillins only, and mecA, coding for an extra cell wall cross-linking enzyme with reduced affinity for virtually all other β-lactams. The...
