Genotypic and Phenotypic Characterization of MRSA Colonization and Persistence in Residential Aged Care Facilities in Adelaide, Australia. [PDF]
Int J MicrobiolBackground Residential aged care facilities (RACFs) are potential reservoirs for methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), with residents at increased risk due to compromised immunity, comorbidities, frequent hospital visits, and close living quarters.

Molecular Diversity and Comparison of Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome <i>mec</i> Element in Hospital- and Community-Associated Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> From Pakistan. [PDF]
Int J MicrobiolBackground Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the leading causes of hospital and community‐acquired infections, with the increasing threat of antimicrobial resistance worldwide. Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec (SCCmec) typing is one of the molecular techniques to predict the genetic background of MRSA strains and ...

Cross-species spread of SCCmec IV subtypes in staphylococci [PDF]
Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2011 Staphylococcal chromosomal cassette mec (SCCmec) is a mobile genetic element that carries resistance genes for beta-lactam antibiotics. Coagulase-negative staphylococci, such as S. epidermidis, are thought to be a reservoir of diverse SCCmec elements that can spread to the most virulent staphylococcal species, S.
