Abstract
AbstractActive surveillance in our neonatal intensive care unit identified Staphylococcus aureus cultures from two infants with heterogeneity in methicillin resistance between isolated subclones lacking mecA and mecC. Whole-genome analysis of 4 modified (MODSA) and 4 methicillin-susceptible (MSSA) subclones for each culture identified either truncating mutations in the cyclic diadenosine monophosphate phosphodiesterase enzyme (GdpP), or a nonsynonymous substitution in penicillin binding protein 2 (PBP2). These cases highlight the difficulty in identifying non-mecA/non-mecC-mediated methicillin-resistance in clinical laboratories.
