MecA gene — The mecA gene is a gene found in bacterial cells. The most commonly known carrier of the mecA gene is the bacterium known as MRSA. The mecA gene allows a bacterium to be resistant to antibiotics such as Methicillin, Penicillin, Erythromycin,… … Wikipedia
Carbapenem — Carbapenems are a class of beta lactam antibiotics with a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity, and have a structure which renders them highly resistant to beta lactamases. Carbapenem antibiotics were originally developed from thienamycin, a… … Wikipedia
Antibiotic resistance — is a type of drug resistance where a microorganism is able to survive exposure to an antibiotic. While a spontaneous or induced genetic mutation in bacteria may confer resistance to antimicrobial drugs, genes that confer resistance can be… … Wikipedia
