Characterization of two novel variants of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec elements in oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus lugdunensis

24 Jul 2017

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Staphylococcus lugdunensis, a species of CoNS, has become an important hospital pathogen because of increasing resistance to β-lactam antibiotics such as methicillin and oxacillin. Methicillin resistance is mainly due to the acquisition of the staphylococcal cassette chromosome (SCC) mec (SCCmec). Little is known about the structure of SCCmec in methicillin- or oxacillin-resistant CoNS. METHODS: WGS...
