La persistencia del problema se debe a que estos patógenos han desarrollado resistencia ante las amenazas del medio ambiente. El uso excesivo de sanitizantes y antibióticos como la meticilina son los causantes de la resistencia que en este caso proviene del gen mecA. La identificación de este gen es determinante para diferenciar a las cepas resistentes y no resistentes. Sin embargo, tomando en cuenta que los procesos tradicionales para identificación de este patógeno suelen ser muy tardados, se aplican técnicas como el PCR, por su eficacia y eficiencia. No obstante, técnicas como el PCRRT poseen mejoras que aportan cierta ventaja en comparación con su predecesor.Universida de Sonora2019-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAcademyAcademiaapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://epistemus.unison.mx/index.php/epistemus/article/view/9710.36790/epistemus.v13i26.97EPISTEMUS; Vol. 13 No. 26 (2019): Science does not stop; 55-58EPISTEMUS; Vol. 13 Núm. 26 (2019): La ciencia no cesa; 55-582007-81962007-4530reponame:Epistemusinstname:UNIVERSIDAD DE SONORAinstacron:UNISONspahttps://epistemus.unison.mx/index.php/epistemus/article/view/97/71https://epistemus.unison.mx/index.php/epistemus/article/view/97/155https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:oai.epistemus.unison.mx:article/972024-08-19T22:27:29Z
