Human mecC-Carrying MRSA: Clinical Implications and Risk Factors [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2020 A new methicillin resistance gene, named mecC, was first described in 2011 in both humans and animals. Since then, this gene has been detected in different production and free-living animals and as an agent causing infections in some humans. The possible

Methicillin-resistant
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2013 Background Hitherto, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has not been detected in Swedish cattle. However, due to the report of mecC, a novel homologue to the mecA gene, there was reason to re-evaluate susceptibility results from strain ...

A Staphylococcus xylosus Isolate with a New mecC Allotype [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2013 ABSTRACT Recently, a novel variant of mecA known as mecC ( mecA LGA251 ) was identified in Staphylococcus aureus isolates from both humans and animals. In this study, we identified a Staphylococcus xylosus

Beyond the Wild MRSA: Genetic Features and Phylogenomic Review of mecC-Mediated Methicillin Resistance in Non-aureus Staphylococci and Mammaliicocci [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2023 Methicillin resistance, mediated by the mecA gene in staphylococci and mammaliicocci, has caused tremendous setbacks in the use of antibiotics in human and veterinary medicine due to its high potential of presenting the multidrug resistance (MDR ...

In vitro activity of ceftaroline against mecC-positive MRSA isolates [PDF]
Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance, 2016 Ceftaroline is a new cephalosporin with activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). A collection of 17 clinical and veterinary mecC-positive MRSA isolates was tested to evaluate the in vitro efficacy of ceftaroline against recently emerged mecC-MRSA isolates.

Combustion-assisted CO2 capture using MECC membranes [PDF]
Journal of Membrane Science, 2012 Mixed Electron and Carbonate ion Conductor (MECC) membranes have been proposed as a means to separate CO{sub 2} from power plant flue gas. Here a modified MECC CO{sub 2} capture process is analyzed that supplements retentate pressurization and permeate evacuation as a means to create a CO{sub 2} driving force with a process assisted by the catalytic ...
