Coagulase‐Negative Staphylococci (CoNS): An Emerging Threat, Antimicrobial Resistance, and Health Concern

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Coagulase‐negative staphylococci (CoNS) have evolved from a harmless commensal group to an alarming threat to patient, environmental, and population health due to their challenging treatment and their impact on health outcomes. The widespread presence of CoNS in these environments poses a public health concern due to various virulence factors, biofilm ...

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

Journal 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).

High heterogeneity within methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST398 isolates defined by Cfr9I macrorestriction-PFGE profiles, spa- and SCCmec-types

, 2009
During recent years, the animal associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clone ST398 has extensively been studied. The DNA of these isolates turned out to be refractory to SmaI-restriction, and consequently, SmaI is unsuitable for subtyping

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

International 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 ...

Expression of SCCmec cassette chromosome recombinases in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis.

, 2013
OBJECTIVES: Methicillin resistance in staphylococci is mediated by the mecA gene, which is carried on the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec). SCCmec is responsible for vertical and horizontal transfer of methicillin resistance.

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

International 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 ...
