SCCmec transformation requires living donor cells in mixed biofilms
BiofilmMethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important human pathogen that has emerged through the horizontal acquisition of the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec). Previously, we showed that SCCmec from heat-killed donors can be transferred via natural transformation in biofilms at frequencies of 10-8-10-7.

Infection and drug resistance, 2018 A pivotal event in the evolutionary path of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is the acquisition of the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) element carrying the mecA gene, the determinant of methicillin resistance. Community-acquired (CA) MRSA is commonly associated with skin/soft tissue infections, and doxycycline is one ...

Novel SCCmec type XV (7A) and two pseudo-SCCmec variants in foodborne MRSA in China
, 2022 BackgroundStaphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) elements are highly diverse and have been classified into 14 types. Novel SCCmec variants have been frequently detected from humans and animals but rarely from food.ObjectivesTo characterize a novel SCCmec type and two SCCmec variants identified from food-associated MRSA in China.MethodsThree ...

Detection of novel chromosome-SCCmec variants in Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus and their inclusion in PCR based screening [PDF]
, 2011 Findings. To facilitate automation, a novel DNA extraction method for MRSA was adopted. The MRSA specific chromosome-SCCmec PCR was adapted, additional primers were added, and the performance was validated. From various laboratories in The Netherlands we
