Analysis of the genome sequence of the hedgehog-associated mecC- MRSA CC599
2026-07-17
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>After the discovery of mecC, an alternative gene conferring beta-lactam resistance to Staphylococcus (S.) aureus, epidemiological studies suggested a zoonotic background of mecC-MRSA. These strains are associated with hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) where they appear to have evolved under selective pressure exerted by penicillin-producing dermatophytes (Trichophyton erinacei). CC599 is...
