Distribution of Staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec Types and correlation with comorbidity and infection type in patients with MRSA bacteremia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BACKGROUND: Molecular epidemiological definitions that are based on staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) typing and phylogenetic analysis of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates are considered a reliable way to ...

Of Commensals and Opportunists: Genomics of Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci During Sequential Ear and Eye Infections in a Healthy Adult. [PDF]
MicrobiologyopenThe genomes of coagulase‐negative staphylococci (CoNS) isolated during sequential ear and eye infections in a healthy adult are analyzed. We highlight the identification of a community‐acquired S. capitis subsp. urealyticus ST1 lineage carrying a mosaic SCCmec IV element, linking common skin commensals to multidrug‐resistant strains associated with ...

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.

A novel hybrid SCCmec-mecC region in Staphylococcus sciuri [PDF]
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2013 Methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus spp. results from the expression of an alternative penicillin-binding protein 2a (encoded by mecA) with a low affinity for β-lactam antibiotics. Recently, a novel variant of mecA known as mecC (formerly mecALGA251) was identified in Staphylococcus aureus isolates from both humans and animals.
