MECA Hockey Games
''mecA'' is a gene found in bacterial cells which allows them to be resistant to antibiotics such as methicillin, penicillin and other penicillin-like antibiotics. The bacteria strain most commonly known to carry ''mecA'' is methicillin-resistant ''Staphylococcus aureus'' ( MRSA). In ''Staphylococcus'' species, ''mecA'' is spread through the staphylococcal chromosome cassette SCC''mec'' genetic element. Resistant strains cause many hospital-acquired infections. ''mecA'' encodes the protein PBP2A ( penicillin-binding protein 2A), a transpeptidase that helps form the bacterial cell wall. PBP2A has a lower affinity for beta-lactam antibiotics such as methicillin and penicillin than DD-transpeptidase does, so it does not bind to the ringlike structure of penicillin-like antibiotics. This enables transpeptidase activity in the presence of beta-lactams, preventing them from inhibiting cell wall synthesis. The bacteria can then replicate as normal. History Methicillin resistan ...
