A new multiplex PCR for easy screening of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus SCCmec types I–V

, 2007
A multiplex PCR with four primer-pairs was designed to identify the five main known SCCmec types. A clear and easily discriminated band pattern was obtained for all five types.

Roles of two large serine recombinases in mobilizing the methicillin-resistance cassette SCCmec

, 2013
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) emerged via acquisition of a mobile element, staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec). Integration and excision of SCCmec is mediated by an unusual site-specific recombination system.

Characterization of SCCmec types, antibiotic resistance, and toxin gene profiles of Staphylococcus aureus strains

, 2013
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) causes serious nosocomial and community acquired infections. Resistance to methicillin is mediated by the mecA gene, which is inserted in a mobile genetic element called staphylococcal cassette ...

Variability of Recombinase Genes and Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mecA of Staphylococcus Haemolyticus

Антибиотики и Химиотерапия, 2020
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS), in particular Staphylococcus haemolyticus, play an important role in the etiology of nosocomial infections. Most CNS are resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics, which is realized through the production of the second ...

SCCmec typing of PVL-positive community-acquired Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) at a Japanese hospital

, 2019
The epidemiology of Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-positive MRSA in community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) was examined. Three hundred and forty-two CA-MRSA strains that were susceptible to imipenem and cefazolin were

Genotyping of community-associated methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) in a tertiary care centre in Mysore, South India: ST2371-SCCmec IV emerges as the major clone

, 2015
The burden of community-associated methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) is on the rise in population and clinical settings on account of the adaptability and virulence traits of this pathogen.
