Methicillin resistance and mecA and PBP2a expression in CA- and HA-MRSA isolates. a Methicillin resistance (measured with oxacillin) by dilution method. b mecA expression levels by qRT-PCR in cultures grown to mid-exponential growth phase (4 h). **p < 0.01 (unpaired t test). c PBP2a levels by densitometry of western blots in stationary phase cultures (8 h) ***p < 0.001. Values are normalized versus sortase A signals obtained using the same samples. Strains used in b, c are the same as in a. Note that at induction levels of oxacillin higher than 4 μg/ml, only selected CA-MRSA strains grow and none grow at > 8 μg/ml
