What was the main mechanism by which methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus gained ascendancy over methicillin?

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) gained ascendancy over methicillin-sensitive strains mainly due to the acquisition of the mecA gene, which encodes for a modified penicillin-binding protein that has low affinity for β-lactam antibiotics. This modification allows MRSA to survive and replicate in the presence of methicillin and other β-lactam antibiotics, leading to its dominance in healthcare settings.
