Novel staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) type XIV (5A) and a truncated SCCmec element in SCC composite islands carrying speG in ST5 MRSA in Japan.

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2019
BACKGROUND Staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) elements are highly diverse and have been classified into 13 types. The arginine catabolic mobile element (ACME) is an SCC-like element harbouring an arginine deiminase pathway gene cluster (ACME-

Detection of diverse SCCmec variants in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and comparison of SCCmec typing methods [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2007
Non-duplicate methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates (n = 436), collected from four hospitals located in three Korean cities between 2001 and 2005, were investigated by SCCmec typing and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Variations within SCCmec, especially type II, were detected in 165 (37.8%) isolates, and these variants were ...

SCCmec and spa types of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains in Israel. Detection of SCCmec type V [PDF]

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2007
Molecular characterization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates from three hospitals in Israel was the aim of the study presented here. We identified 11 distinct genetic clones by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. Molecular typing identified four different SCCmec types-I, II, IV, and V-and nine spa types.

Variability of SCCmec in the Zurich area [PDF]

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2008
A periodic survey of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Zurich in 2004 and 2006 revealed a consistently low prevalence of MRSA. SCCmec and ccr typing showed fluctuations in the proportions of SCCmec types and in the carriage of mobile virulence determinants.

MRSA SCCmec epidemiology in Israel: development and implementation of an MRSA SCCmec typing strategy

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2011
Staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) typing is essential for investigating the molecular epidemiology of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Published assays were often found to be limited in their ability to characterize isolates that were not collected locally.

Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec (SCCmec) Analysis of MRSA.

Methods in molecular biology, 2019
Methicillin-susceptible S. aureus changes to methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) upon the acquisition of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec), a genomic island that encodes methicillin resistance. SCCmec elements in S. aureus are classified into different types based on the combination of mec gene complexes and ccr gene complexes, which ...

Identical MALDI TOF MS-derived peak profiles in a pair of isogenic SCCmec-harboring and SCCmec-lacking strains of Staphylococcus aureus

Journal of Infection, 2012
MALDI-TOF MS-based peak differences in oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and oxacillin-susceptible S. aureus isolates have been described previously. Unfortunately, these isolates were not isogenic with respect to their mecA gene. Ours is the first to use a SCCmec-harboring parent and a SCCmec-lacking daughter strain, with the same genetic ...

Variability of SCCmec elements in livestock-associated CC398 MRSA.

Veterinary Microbiology, 2017
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.

One health approach to genetic relatedness in SCCmec between methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus isolates from companion dogs with pyoderma and their owners.

Veterinary Microbiology, 2020
Staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) confers methicillin resistance and shows ability for horizontal transfer. However, little is known about the potential transfer of SCCmec between different species of staphylococci in a clinical setting. In

Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec (SCCmec) Analysis of MRSA

2013
Methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) changes to methicillin-resistant S. aureus upon the acquisition of Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec (SCCmec), a genomic island that encodes methicillin resistance. All SCCmec elements reported to date share four common characteristics: (1) carrying the mec gene complex (mec); (2) carrying the ccr gene ...
