An unexpected location of the arginine catabolic mobile element (ACME) in a USA300-related MRSA strain.

PLoS ONE, 2011
In methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), the arginine catabolic mobile element (ACME) was initially described in USA300 (t008-ST8) where it is located downstream of the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec).

Role of SCCmec type in resistance to the synergistic activity of oxacillin and cefoxitin in MRSA

Scientific Reports, 2017
β-lactam antibiotics target penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) preventing peptidoglycan synthesis and this inhibition is circumvented in methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains through the expression of an additional PBP, named PBP2A ...

Structures of SCCmec elements in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus lugdunensis are closely related to those harboured by community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2019
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus lugdunensis (MRSL) is increasingly recognized in healthcare and community settings. To obtain a better understanding of the emergence of MRSL, this study characterized the structure and content of the SCCmec elements ...
