Characterization of Staphylococcus aureus isolates with a partial or complete absence of staphylococcal cassette chromosome elements.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Oct 2010

Wong Henry, Louie Lisa, Lo Reggie Y C, Simor Andrew E

Abstract excerpt

Detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) by single-locus PCR assays that target the extremity of the staphylococcal cassette chromosome-mec (SCCmec) and part of the adjacent S. aureus-specific open reading frame gene (orfX) is a significant diagnostic advancement, since it provides real-time detection directly from screening specimens. However, isolates harboring mecA deletions within...
