Novel Type of Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome <i>mec</i> Identified in Community-Acquired Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Strains

1 Apr 2002

Abstract excerpt

We identified a new type of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) from two community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains. The novel element, designated type IV SCCmec, had a unique combination of the class B mec gene complex and the type 2 ccr gene complex and was much smaller in size (21 to 24 kb) than previously identified SCCmec elements of hospital-acquired MRSA....
