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 ...

Characterization of a new SCCmec element in Staphylococcus cohnii. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BACKGROUND: Many SCCmec elements of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) could not be typed using multiplex PCR. Such a 'non-typable' SCCmec was encountered in a Staphylococcus cohnii isolate.

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 ...

Type IV SCCmec found in decade old Brazilian MRSA isolates [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2008 Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) commonly causes infection in hospitalized patients. Since its appearance in the 1960s, the SCCmec has evolved throughout the years into 5 different types (I-V), each bearing a different set of genes ...
