Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec (SCCmec) Classification and Typing Methods: an Overview
Polish Journal of Microbiology, 2011 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.

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2014 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 ...

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 124, Issue 3, Page 189-203, September 2025.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

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2019 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).

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2025.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 ...

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2025.The results indicated high prevalence of MRSA in broilers, which is very worrying issue. It was observed that due to the increase in the use of antibiotics in poultry farming, bacteria resistant to methicillin and other antibiotics have a high prevalence.
