Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec (SCCmec) in coagulase negative staphylococci [PDF]
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are among the main causative agents of bacteremia. Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus haemolyticus are the CoNS species most frequently isolated.

Genetic Diversity and Epidemiological Overlap of Staphylococcus aureus at the Animal-Food-Environment-Human Interface Within a One Health Framework. [PDF]
Integrating 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 ...

Prevalence and Antibiotic Resistance Pattern of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Iraqi Hospitals [PDF]
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria are often multi-drug resistant, resulting in a high rate of treatment failure. This study aimed to identify the antibiotics resistance profile and molecular characteristics of MRSA strains ...

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]
Background 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 ...
