This study proposes a novel model illustrating how quorum sensing (QS) regulates the type III‐A CRISPR‐Cas system in Staphylococcus aureus. The QS regulator AgrA suppresses CRISPR‐Cas activity by downregulating the transcriptional regulators SarA and ArcR.

Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec (SCCmec) Classification and Typing Methods: an Overview
Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the main causes of hospital-acquired infections, but since late 1990s also the community-acquired. For better understanding of the S.aureus epidemiology there is an urgent need for creation of new typing method for SCCmec element.

COL is an unusual “model” strain of Staphylococcus aureus that exhibits slow growth and multidrug antibiotic tolerance. This phenotype is primarily due to a mutation in Prs, which synthesizes the core metabolite phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP). Introduction of the COL Prs allele into the antibiotic‐susceptible strain Newman confers tolerance, while

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) presents a protein that binds to penicillin, the PBP2a, encoded by the gene mecA, located in a mobile genetic element called the staphylococcal chromosomal cassette (SCCmec).

Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is the main pathogen of hospital- and community-associated infections. Methicillin resistance is due to mecA gene located in a mobile complex element, staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec). The

The aim of this study was to perform SCCmec typing in Staphylococcus aureus isolates and to characterize the clonal profile of these isolates. Forty-six mecA gene-positive strains isolated between 2002 and 2006 were submitted to antimicrobial resistance ...

Abstract 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-arc).

This study reveals a high prevalence of foodborne S. aureus in northwest Hubei Province, with MRSA strains displaying significantly elevated antibiotic resistance and biofilm‐forming capacities compared to MSSA strains. The high carriage rates of enterotoxin genes across isolates underscore the potential of these strains to contribute to foodborne ...
