Variability of SCCmec elements in livestock-associated CC398 MRSA
Veterinary Microbiology, 2018 The most common livestock-associated lineage of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Western Europe is currently clonal complex (CC) 398. CC398-MRSA spread extensively across livestock populations in several Western European countries, and livestock-derived CC398-MRSA strains can also be detected in humans.

Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec (SCCmec) in coagulase negative staphylococci [PDF]
Medicina Universitaria, 2015 AbstractCoagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are among the main causative agents of bacteremia. Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus haemolyticus are the CoNS species most frequently isolated. These species are often associated with infections in immunocompromised patients who have a medical device implant.

Genetic Diversity and Epidemiological Overlap of Staphylococcus aureus at the Animal-Food-Environment-Human Interface Within a One Health Framework. [PDF]
MicrobiologyopenIntegrating farm‐to‐fork and clinical surveillance, this study reveals distinct SCCmec distributions alongside shared spa types across human, animal, and food interfaces. The results of genetic diversity and epidemiological overlap underscore the critical need for coordinated One Health surveillance to monitor multi‐sectoral Staphylococcus aureus ...

Infection and drug resistance, 2018 A pivotal event in the evolutionary path of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is the acquisition of the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) element carrying the mecA gene, the determinant of methicillin resistance. Community-acquired (CA) MRSA is commonly associated with skin/soft tissue infections, and doxycycline is one ...
