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.

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 ...

Molecular characterization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated from a Brazilian university hospital

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2014
The aim of this study was to perform SCCmec typing in Staphylococcus aureus isolates and to characterize the clonal profile of these isolates. Forty-six mecA gene-positive strains isolated between 2002 and 2006 were submitted to antimicrobial resistance ...

Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec (SCCmec) Classification and Typing Methods: an Overview

open access: yesPolish Journal of Microbiology, 2011
Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the main causes of hospital-acquired infections, but since late 1990s also the community-acquired. For better understanding of the S.aureus epidemiology there is an urgent need for creation of new typing method for SCCmec element.

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.

Staphylococcal Chromosomal Cassette Type in Clinical Strains of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

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).

Novel staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) type XIV (5A) and a truncated SCCmec element in SCC composite islands carrying speG in ST5 MRSA in Japan

open access: yesJournal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2019
Abstract Background Staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) elements are highly diverse and have been classified into 13 types. The arginine catabolic mobile element (ACME) is an SCC-like element harbouring an arginine deiminase pathway gene cluster (ACME-arc).

Antibiotic Resistance: A Genetic and Physiological Perspective

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 6, Issue 11, November 2025.
The development of resistance to antimicrobials and their historical progression are depicted in this graphic. It draws attention to important biochemical, physiological, and genetic factors that contribute to AMR, such as the transmission of genes, the development of biofilms, and the inactivation of antibiotics.
