  • Title: Further characterization of borderline methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and analysis of penicillin-binding proteins.
    Author: Montanari MP, Tonin E, Biavasco F, Varaldo PE.
    Journal: Antimicrob Agents Chemother; 1990 May; 34(5):911-3. PubMed ID: 2360829.
    Abstract:
    Eighty-nine Staphylococcus aureus strains were grouped according to their susceptibility or resistance to methicillin and oxacillin. The role of beta-lactamase in borderline methicillin resistance was confirmed by tests with beta-lactamase inhibitors, particularly when salt-supplemented medium was used. A penicillin-binding protein assay indicated that borderline methicillin-resistant S. aureus strains do not produce PBP 2a.
