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 ...

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.

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.

MRSA SCCmec epidemiology in Israel: development and implementation of an MRSA SCCmec typing strategy
European Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2011Staphylococcal 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.

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 ...

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2019 Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) can be classified into hospital-acquired MRSA (HA-MRSA) and community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA), based on the associated epidemiological risk factors and their SCCmec types. We therefore studied the diversity and distribution of SCCmec elements among MRSA isolates in our region and also evaluated ...

Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec (SCCmec) Analysis of MRSA
2013Methicillin-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 ...

Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec (SCCmec) Analysis of MRSA
2019Methicillin-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 ...

Evolutionary Origin of the Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec (SCC mec )
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2017 Several lines of evidence indicate that the most primitive staphylococcal species, those of the Staphylococcus sciuri group, were involved in the first stages of evolution of the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec), the genetic element ...

Correlation between type IIIA CRISPR–Cas system and SCCmec in Staphylococcus epidermidis
Archives of Microbiology, 2021A subculture of S.epidermidis strain ATCC35984 that is amenable to genetically manipulate was occasionally found in our laboratory. This mutant exhibited susceptibility to methicillin in contrast to its parent strain. To unveil the underlying mechanism, whole-genome sequencing of the mutant was performed.
