Detection of diverse SCCmec variants in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and comparison of SCCmec typing methods [PDF]
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 ...

SCCmec and spa types of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains in Israel. Detection of SCCmec type V [PDF]
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.

Variability of SCCmec in the Zurich area [PDF]
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.

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.
