IDENTIFICATION OF SCCMEC TYPE IN ISOLATE OF METHICILLIN RESISTANT Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) IN JAMBI BY USING POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION (PCR)

Indonesian Journal of Tropical and Infectious Disease, 2020
Staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) is one of the mobile genetic elements of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) that carries many resistance genes and allows SCCmec to move from one bacterium to another. Twelve types of SCCmec

Risk Factors Associated With Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Infections in Patients With Diabetic Foot Ulcers in Tehran. [PDF]

Can J Infect Dis Med Microbiol
Background Foot ulcer is a common complication of diabetes mellitus, which is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates among diabetic patients. This study aimed to identify risk factors associated with methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S.

Association between SCCmec types and antimicrobial resistance in clinical MRSA isolates [PDF]

Microbes and Infectious Diseases, 2022
Abstract BackgroundMRSA is the causative agent of serious infections. MRSA isolates carry mecA gene which confers resistance to all β-lactams, markedly limiting the therapeutic options. SCCmec typing enables strain-based MRSA identification.

Detection of diverse SCCmec variants in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and comparison of SCCmec typing methods [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2007
Non-duplicate methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates (n = 436), collected from four hospitals located in three Korean cities between 2001 and 2005, were investigated by SCCmec typing and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Variations within SCCmec, especially type II, were detected in 165 (37.8%) isolates, and these variants were ...

Type IV SCCmec found in decade old Brazilian MRSA isolates [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2008
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) commonly causes infection in hospitalized patients. Since its appearance in the 1960s, the SCCmec has evolved throughout the years into 5 different types (I-V), each bearing a different set of genes ...

Variability of SCCmec in the Zurich area [PDF]

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2008
A periodic survey of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Zurich in 2004 and 2006 revealed a consistently low prevalence of MRSA. SCCmec and ccr typing showed fluctuations in the proportions of SCCmec types and in the carriage of mobile virulence determinants.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus lugdunensis carrying SCCmec type V misidentified as MRSA [PDF]

The Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2011
Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a rare cause of severe infections and clinical manifestations are similar to those related to S. aureus infection. We describe a hospital-acquired bacteremia due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus lugdunensis, misidentified as methicillin-resistant S. aureus. The oxacillin MIC was 16 µg/mL and the mecA gene and SCCmec

Diversity of SCCmec elements in Staphylococci isolated from public washrooms [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2015
Staphylococci are commonly associated with antibiotic resistance in healthcare settings including resistance to methicillin and other beta lactam antibiotics primarily associated with the carriage of SCCmec mobile genetic elements. We investigated oxacillin susceptibility in 11 different species of environmental staphylococci to evaluate the potential ...

Characterization of a new SCCmec element in Staphylococcus cohnii. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: Many SCCmec elements of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) could not be typed using multiplex PCR. Such a 'non-typable' SCCmec was encountered in a Staphylococcus cohnii isolate.

Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus carrying SCCmec type IV in southern Brazil [PDF]

, 2013
INTRODUCTION: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important pathogen commonly associated with nosocomial infections. However, it has also been associated with community-acquired skin and soft tissue infections (CA-MRSA).
