Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus carrying the new mecC gene--a meta-analysis.

Diagnostic microbiology and infectious disease - 1 Feb 2016

Diaz Raquel, Ramalheira Elmano, Afreixo Vera, Gago Bruno

Abstract excerpt

In 2011, a new mecA gene homolog, named mecC gene, was found in isolates from both humans and animals. The discovery of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carrying the mecC gene has caused speculations about the origin, epidemiology, and impact of these isolates. The objective of this work is to perform a meta-analysis on the prevalence of mecC MRSA, based on previously published results....
