SCCmec Genotypes of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Nasal Carriage of Multiple Sclerosis Patients in Iran

open access: yesIranian Journal of Public Health, 2019
Background: Asymptomatic nasal colonization of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus is common in Multiple Sclerosis patients. SCCmec types I to III are mainly attributed to HA-MRSA strains whereas SCCmec types IV and V have commonly been reported ...

CC8 MRSA Strains Harboring SCCmec Type IVc are Predominant in Colombian Hospitals

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Contexte Des rapports récents soulignent l'incursion du SARM associé à la communauté dans les établissements de soins de santé. Cependant, la connaissance de ce phénomène reste limitée en Amérique latine. L'objectif de cette étude était d'évaluer l'épidémiologie moléculaire du SARM dans trois hôpitaux de soins tertiaires à Medellín, en Colombie ...

Complete genome analysis of representative methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clinical strains prevalent in Korea during 2014-2017

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical Microbiology
Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major pathogen responsible for various clinical infections. The investigation of representative MRSA genomes is important for understanding their molecular epidemiology and genetic ...

An unexpected location of the arginine catabolic mobile element (ACME) in a USA300-related MRSA strain.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
In methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), the arginine catabolic mobile element (ACME) was initially described in USA300 (t008-ST8) where it is located downstream of the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec).

The molecular characterisation of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus from hospitals in Cape Town

open access: yes, 2011
Comprehensive molecular epidemiological data are prerequisite for establishing control over methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in the hospital setting; however, there is currently a paucity of molecular epidemiological data available on MRSA from ...

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

open access: yes, 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.

Genetic diversity of Staphylococcus aureus strains from a teaching hospital in Isfahan, Iran: The emergence of MRSA ST639- SCCmec III and ST343- SCCmec III.

open access: yesIranian journal of microbiology, 2018
Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen that can be colonized in the nose and increase the risk of spreading infections in hospitals. The present study aimed at determining the phenotypic and genotypic characterization of S. aureus strains isolated from patients and healthcare workers (HCWs) from a teaching hospital in Isfahan, Iran.This cross ...

Diversity of SCCmec Elements in Methicillin-Resistant Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci Clinical Isolates

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MR-CoNS) are opportunistic pathogens and serve as a large reservoir of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec). Characterization of SCCmec in MR-CoNS can generate useful information on the mobilization and evolution of this element.Non-repetitive MR-CoNS clinical isolates (n = 84; 39 S ...

Tandem mobilization of anti-phage defenses alongside SCCmec elements in staphylococci

open access: yesNature Communications
Recent research has identified multiple immune systems that bacteria use to protect themselves from viral infections. However, little is known about the mechanisms by which these systems horizontally spread, especially among bacterial pathogens. Here, we investigate antiviral defenses in staphylococci, opportunistic pathogens that constitute leading ...
