Genetic diversity among methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates carrying the mecC gene in Belgium.

The Journal of antimicrobial chemotherapy - 1 Jun 2014

Deplano Ariane, Vandendriessche Stien, Nonhoff Claire, Denis Olivier

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: A mecA homologue gene, named mecC, has been reported in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates from humans and from diverse animal species. We investigated the proportion, and the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, of mecC-carrying MRSA recovered from humans in Belgium. METHODS: A total of 4869 S. aureus isolates, collected by the National Reference Centre from 2003 to...
