Staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) characterization and molecular analysis for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and novel SCCmec subtype IVg isolated from bovine milk in Korea [PDF]
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2005 To identify the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) types of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated from bovine milk, and examine the genetic relatedness between MRSA from bovine milk and MRSA from human isolates.Antimicrobial susceptibility tests were performed on MRSA isolated from bovine milk.

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Background Different clonal groups of methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), particularly community‐acquired MRSA (CA‐MRSA), have caused widespread outbreaks and transmission in various regions. Methods We used the North American CA‐MRSA epidemic strain USA300, the Asian CA‐MRSA epidemic strain YNSA7, and ATCC43300 as research subjects ...

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Background Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus remains a major cause of health care‐associated infection in high‐risk units such as burn and cancer wards. In settings where advanced genotyping schemes are not routinely available, combining complementary molecular typing methods can improve characterization of genetic diversity for surveillance ...

Diversity of SCCmec Elements in Staphylococcus aureus as Observed in South-Eastern Germany
PLOS ONE, 2016 SCCmec elements are very important mobile genetic elements in Staphylococci that carry beta-lactam resistance genes mecA/mecC, recombinase genes and a variety of accessory genes. Twelve main types and a couple of variants have yet been described. In addition, there are also other SCC elements harbouring other markers.

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.In a protected forest fragment in southern Brazil, 197 wild birds were sampled, with 12.2% carrying Staphylococcus aureus. Two MRSA ST398 strains, the first reported in Brazilian wild birds, were identified. Genomic analysis revealed resistance and virulence genes, linking these strains to pigs and underscoring the critical need for resistance ...

The Host R‐M Systems Change the Host Range of Staphylococcus Phage EBHT
MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.The study shows how Staphylococcal restriction–modification (R‐M) systems methylate the phage genomic DNA and change the phage host range. The host R‐M systems should be considered when selecting phage manufacturing hosts, as the manufacturing host with a higher yield can result in a narrower phage host range.
