Type IV SCCmec found in decade old Brazilian MRSA isolates.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) commonly causes infection in hospitalized patients. Since its appearance in the 1960s, the SCCmec has evolved throughout the years into 5 different types (I-V), each bearing a different set of genes. Infection with MRSA SCCmec types I, II or III is almost exclusively restricted to hospitalised patients. However, recently, community acquired MRS...
متن کاملEmergence of clonal complex 5 (CC5) methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole in a Brazilian hospital
In this study, genotyping techniques including staphylococcal chromosomal cassette mec (SCCmec) typing, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and restriction-modification tests were used to compare the molecular characteristics of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates recovered at two times within a 10-year interval (1998 and 2008) from...
متن کاملRelated clones containing SCCmec type IV predominate among clinically significant Staphylococcus epidermidis isolates.
SCCmec is a mobile genetic element that carries the gene (mecA) mediating methicillin resistance in staphylococci. For Staphylococcus aureus, four SCCmec types have been described, one (type IV) of which has been associated with newly identified community-acquired methicillin-resistant S. aureus. However, the distribution of SCCmec types among S. epidermidis is not known. SCCmec typing of a col...
متن کاملبررسی مولکولی و تعیین تایپ‌های SCCmec در استافیلوکوکوس اورئوس‌های مقاوم به متی سیلین جدا شده از پرسنل بیمارستان‌های آموزشی درمانی استان زنجان
Background and purpose: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates are the most common pathogen that causes hospital and community acquired infections. Studying on drug resistance, it is important strategy to prevent these types of infections. The use of molecular typing methods is essential for determining the origin of the strains and also in epidemiological investigations....
متن کاملPhenotypic and Genotypic Evaluation of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strains Isolated from Children in Tehran Children's Medical Center, 2016
Background and purpose: The aims of this study were to evaluate the antibiotic resistance of Healthcare-associated Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (HA-MRSA) and Community associated MRSA (CA-MRSA)-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus strains and to investigate the frequency of different types of spa typing, SCCmec I, II, III, IV, V, and type IV, among the strains of MRSA isol...
