Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcal chromosome cassette mec (SCCmec) elements within major lineages of healthcare- and community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clones were characterised using intra-SCCmec multilocus sequencing. A strong correlation was observed between sequence- and PCR-based typing methods (p <0.001). However, phylogenetic analysis of the SCCmec locus using concatenated sequences...
