Methicillin Resistance

Methicillin Resistance is a mechanism of antimicrobial resistance characterized by the acquisition of altered penicillin-binding proteins, notably PBP2a encoded by the mecA gene, that confer insusceptibility to beta-lactam antibiotics, including methicillin and other penicillinase-resistant penicillins, primarily in Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus.
