Ubiquitous selection for mecA in community-associated MRSA across diverse chemical environments
The mecA gene confers resistance to many β-lactam antibiotics in community-associated MRSA bacteria. Here, Snitser et al. show that mecA also provides broad selective advantage across diverse chemical environments in the presence of subinhibitory β-lactam concentrations, by protecting the bacteria a...
