Novel pseudo-staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec element (ψSCCmec57395) in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius CC45.
Genetic characterization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) from Thailand and Israel revealed the presence of a predominant atypical clonal lineage which was not typeable by SmaI-PFGE and SCCmec typing. All the atypical isolates (n = 34) belonged to CC45 (30 ST45 and 2 ST179 isolates, 1 ST57 isolate, and 1 ST85 isolate). The isolates originated from healthy and dise...
متن کاملEmergence of sequence type 779 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus harboring a novel pseudo staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec)-SCC-SCCCRISPR composite element in Irish hospitals.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been a major cause of nosocomial infection in Irish hospitals for 4 decades, and replacement of predominant MRSA clones has occurred several times. An MRSA isolate recovered in 2006 as part of a larger study of sporadic MRSA exhibited a rare spa (t878) and multilocus sequence (ST779) type and was nontypeable by PCR- and DNA microarray-based...
متن کاملA novel staphylococcal cassette chromosomal element, SCCfusC, carrying fusC and speG in fusidic acid-resistant methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
A high prevalence of fusC (16/46, 59%) was found in fusidic acid-resistant methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates collected from 2008 to 2010. Nucleotide sequencing of fusC and flanking regions revealed a novel staphylococcal cassette chromosome (SCC) structure, SCCfusC, which was integrated into rlmH and located upstream from SCCmec. The SCCfusC element contained speG, which may ...
متن کاملStaphylococcus aureus CC395 harbours a novel composite staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec element
Background CoNS species are likely reservoirs of the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCC mec ) in Staphylococcus aureus . S . aureus CC395 is unique as it is capable of exchanging DNA with CoNS via bacteriophages, which are also known to mediate transfer of SCC mec . Objectives To analyse the structure and putative origin of the SCC mec element in S . aureus CC395. Methods The only ...
متن کاملStaphylococcal cassette chromosome mec-like element in Macrococcus caseolyticus.
Macrococcus is a bacterial genus that is closely related to Staphylococcus, which typically is isolated from animal skin and products. The genome analysis of multidrug-resistant Macrococcus caseolyticus strain JCSC5402, isolated from chicken, previously led to the identification of plasmid pMCCL2, which carries a transposon containing an unusual form of the Macrococcus mec gene complex (mecA(m)...
