All of the following are true about Methicillin resistance in MRSA, except

Penicillin resistance is of three types: Production of beta-lactamase Alteration in the penicillin-binding protein PBP2a and changes in bacterial surface receptors, reducing binding of beta-lactam antibiotics to cells.This resistance also extends to cover beta-lactamase-resistant penicillins such as methicillin and cloxacillins(MRSA). Some of the strains may show resistance to other antibiotics such as erythromycins, tetracyclines, aminoglycosides, and heavy metals and cause outbreaks of hospital infections.
