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 ...

Of Commensals and Opportunists: Genomics of Coagulase‐Negative Staphylococci During Sequential Ear and Eye Infections in a Healthy Adult

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
The genomes of coagulase‐negative staphylococci (CoNS) isolated during sequential ear and eye infections in a healthy adult are analyzed. We highlight the identification of a community‐acquired S. capitis subsp. urealyticus ST1 lineage carrying a mosaic SCCmec IV element, linking common skin commensals to multidrug‐resistant strains associated with ...

Phenotypic and Genotypic Analyses of Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns of Staphylococcus aureus Isolates From Outpatient Blood Samples in Mukuru Slum, Nairobi, Kenya

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Bloodstream infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and its methicillin‐resistant S. aureus (MRSA) represent a major clinical challenge, contributing to prolonged illness, increased healthcare costs, and high mortality worldwide. In low‐resource settings, these infections are further aggravated by overcrowding, poor sanitation,
