mecA? WTF?

Quantification of mecA mRNA in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Strains by Competitive Reverse Transcription-PCR with an Internal cRNA Standard.

Article from: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6T30-4B4VPRF-1&_user=10&_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_sort=d&_docanchor=&view=c&_searchStrId=1006926609&_rerunOrigin=google&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=17e63154dff694c0158e73ee4745a762#toc10

Real-time PCR assays were developed for the quantifiable detection of the antibiotic-resistance genes vanA of enterococci, ampC of Enterobacteriaceae, and mecA of staphylococci in different municipal wastewater samples.

Now, say you love genetics. You'd better!! Actually then name itself makes a lot of sense.

P/S: Taken my Step One. I would like to thank also to lots of people, including the person who uploaded Goljan's audio. (Thank you to learnerstv for saving my ass also on neuroanatomy and thank you everyone who supported me throughout)
