Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec Types Among Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Northern Iran
BACKGROUND Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a common cause of nosocomial and community-acquired infections around the world. Staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) typing methods are often used to study MRSA molecular epidemiology. OBJECTIVES The current study was designed to explore the distribution profiles of different SCCmec types among methicillin-resistant ...

conclusions similarly to other geographical regions of iran, the sccmec type iii mrsa strain was the most frequently isolated strain from patients in gorgan. staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec type iii showed fewer virulence factors compared to other sccmec types. results the most common sccmec type was type iii, with a frequency rate of 76%, followed by types iv, i, and v, with frequency r...
متن کاملmethicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa) strains and the staphy lococcal cassette chromosome mec types in iran
background: staphylococcus aureus can cause infections with a wide spectrum of illnesses ranging from benign skin infections to bloodstream infection leading to mortality. antimicrobial resistance especially methicillin resistance in s. aureus (mrsa strains) is currently problematic. the emergence of mrsa infections has developed in both the healthcare and the community settings. the aim of th...
متن کاملTyping of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec encoding methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus isolates in Ahvaz, Iran
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major nosocomial pathogen. We sought to determine the frequency of the different types of SCCmec in MRSA isolates by performing a cross-sectional study. A total of 72 S. aureus isolates were collected from Imam Khomeini and Golestan hospitals and analysed for MRSA and SCCmec typing by multiplex PCR. The pattern of antibiotic resistance amo...
متن کاملStaphylococcal cassette chromosome mec and Panton-Valentine leukocidin characterization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clones.
Staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) types and Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) gene carriage were compared among suspected community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus MRSA (CA-MRSA) and health care-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA) isolates. CA-MRSA isolates carried the SCCmec type IV complex, and most were PVL positive. The HA-MRSA isolates carried the SCCmec type II ...
