ABSTRACTMethicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureusisolates lackingmecgenes (n= 32), collected from Belgian hospitals, were characterized for their β-lactamase production and the presence of mutations inpbpgenes, thepbp4promoter, and genes involved in penicillin-binding protein 4 overproduction (gdpPandyjbH). Twelve isolates were β-lactamase hyperproducers (BHPs), while 12 non-BHP isolates might produce an incomplete GdpP protein. Most isolates showed nucleotide missense mutations inpbpgenes. A few isolates also showed mutations in thepbp4promoter.
