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.

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 ...

Diversity of SCCmec elements in Staphylococci isolated from public washrooms [PDF]
BMC Microbiology, 2015 Background: 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.

Molecular epidemiology of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus hominis (MRSHo): low clonality and reservoirs of SCCmec structural elements. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus hominis (MRSHo) are important human pathogens in immunocompromised patients. However, little is known regarding its population structure and staphylococcal chromosomal cassette mec (SCCmec) content ...

Methicillin-resistance in Staphylococcus pseudintermedius encoded within novel staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) variants:Novel SCCmec element in Staphylococcus pseudintermedius [PDF]
Background. Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is a common opportunistic pathogen of companion dogs and an occasional human pathogen. Treatment is hampered by antimicrobial resistance including methicillin-resistance encoded by mecA within the mobile ...

SCCmec transformation requires living donor cells in mixed biofilms
BiofilmMethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important human pathogen that has emerged through the horizontal acquisition of the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec). Previously, we showed that SCCmec from heat-killed donors can be
