Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec (SCCmec) in coagulase negative staphylococci
Medicina Universitaria, 2015 AbstractCoagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are among the main causative agents of bacteremia. Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus haemolyticus are the CoNS species most frequently isolated. These species are often associated with infections in immunocompromised patients who have a medical device implant.

PLoS ONE, 2011 Methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MR-CoNS) are opportunistic pathogens and serve as a large reservoir of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec). Characterization of SCCmec in MR-CoNS can generate useful information on the mobilization and evolution of this element.Non-repetitive MR-CoNS clinical isolates (n = 84; 39 S ...
