SCCmec Typing of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus: An Eight Year Experience
Archives of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, 2015 Background: Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains (MRSA) are important pathogens that cause serious diseases in humans. Throughout the recent years, the spread of these strains has increased in medical environments and society, and has become a serious challenge in health systems.

SigmaB regulates ccrAB expression and SCCmec excision in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2016 Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a worldwide pathogen that is resistant to practically the entire class of β-lactam antibiotics due to the presence of the mecA gene. The mecA gene is located on a large mobile genetic element referred to as staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec), and the excision and integration of SCCmec ...

Distribution of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec types among methicillin-resistant coagulase negative staphylococci in central Iran [PDF]
, 2018 Background and Objectives: Methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MR-CoNS) are important nosocomial pathogens. They may serve as a reservoir of SCCmec, the genomic island encoding amongst other methicillin resistance.

Expression of SCCmec cassette chromosome recombinases in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis [PDF]
, 2017 Objectives Methicillin resistance in staphylococci is mediated by the mecA gene, which is carried on the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec). SCCmec is responsible for vertical and horizontal transfer of methicillin resistance.
