The Characterization of mecA Gene and SCCmec Typing in Clinical Samples of MRSA

Science Letters, 2019
MRSA is a major pathogen worldwide and its infections are associated with increased morbidity and mortality, in comparison with other S. aureus infections. The study was designed to characterize the mecA gene and staphylococcal cassette chromosome (SCCmec) in methicillin resistance S. aureus (MRSA). A total of 20 presumptive S.

SCCmec-associated psm-mec mRNA promotes Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm formation

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 2016
Biofilm formation is considered the major pathogenic mechanism of Staphylococcus epidermidis-associated nosocomial infections. Reports have shown that SCCmec-associated psm-mec regulated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus virulence and biofilm formation. However, the role of psm-mec in S. epidermidis remains unclear.

Genetic characteristics and SCCmec variations in pet-associated MRSA CC398 and ST9 strains

The Veterinary Journal
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) sequence type (ST) 9 and clonal complex (CC) 398 are primarily livestock-associated, with CC398 also being predominant in dogs and cats in Thailand. We employed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to investigate the genomic characteristics, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and virulence profiles of pet ...

Staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) typing of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated in 11 Asian countries: a proposal for a new nomenclature for SCCmec elements.

Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy, 2006
A description of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) elements carried by 615 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains isolated in 11 Asian countries is reported, and a novel nomenclatural system based on their structures is proposed.
