Molecular epidemiology of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Zurich, Switzerland (2003): prevalence of type IV SCCmec and a new SCCmec element associated with isolates from intravenous drug users

open access: yes, 2005
The majority of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates, recovered in 2003 at the Department of Medical Microbiology in Zürich, Switzerland, belonged to major clones that are circulating worldwide.

Staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) characterization and molecular analysis for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and novel SCCmec subtype IVg isolated from bovine milk in Korea [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2005
To identify the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) types of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated from bovine milk, and examine the genetic relatedness between MRSA from bovine milk and MRSA from human isolates.Antimicrobial susceptibility tests were performed on MRSA isolated from bovine milk.

A Hypervirulent Community‐Associated Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Sequence Type 59 Strain Shows Enhanced Cytotoxicity and Accessory Gene Regulator Activation Compared With Strain USA300

open access: yesInternational Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Different clonal groups of methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), particularly community‐acquired MRSA (CA‐MRSA), have caused widespread outbreaks and transmission in various regions. Methods We used the North American CA‐MRSA epidemic strain USA300, the Asian CA‐MRSA epidemic strain YNSA7, and ATCC43300 as research subjects ...

Genetic Diversity of Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates From Two Tertiary Care Hospitals in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq, Characterized by spa Typing, Coagulase VNTR Sequencing, and REP‐PCR

open access: yesInternational Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus remains a major cause of health care‐associated infection in high‐risk units such as burn and cancer wards. In settings where advanced genotyping schemes are not routinely available, combining complementary molecular typing methods can improve characterization of genetic diversity for surveillance ...

Diversity of SCCmec Elements in Staphylococcus aureus as Observed in South-Eastern Germany

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2016
SCCmec elements are very important mobile genetic elements in Staphylococci that carry beta-lactam resistance genes mecA/mecC, recombinase genes and a variety of accessory genes. Twelve main types and a couple of variants have yet been described. In addition, there are also other SCC elements harbouring other markers.

Emergence of Livestock‐Associated Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST398 in Wild Birds, Brazil

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
In a protected forest fragment in southern Brazil, 197 wild birds were sampled, with 12.2% carrying Staphylococcus aureus. Two MRSA ST398 strains, the first reported in Brazilian wild birds, were identified. Genomic analysis revealed resistance and virulence genes, linking these strains to pigs and underscoring the critical need for resistance ...

Tipo de cassette cromosómico estafilocócico en cepas clínicas de Staphylococcus aureus resistentes a meticilina

open access: yesKasmera, 2014
: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) presents a protein that binds to penicillin, the PBP2a, encoded by the gene mecA, located in a mobile genetic element called the staphylococcal chromosomal cassette (SCCmec).

The Host R‐M Systems Change the Host Range of Staphylococcus Phage EBHT

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
The study shows how Staphylococcal restriction–modification (R‐M) systems methylate the phage genomic DNA and change the phage host range. The host R‐M systems should be considered when selecting phage manufacturing hosts, as the manufacturing host with a higher yield can result in a narrower phage host range.
