Abstract Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec (SCCmec) element plays a key role in
development of resistance by carrying different resistance factors. Therefore, routine and …

We previously published a simple multiplex PCR assay for quick-screening of
Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec (SCCmec) types I–V, which has been …

Materials and Methods: Out of 200 clinical specimens, S. aureus was detected
phenotypically and confirmed as MRSA by PCR in 124 isolates obtained from associated …

Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is highly prevalent, and its typing plays
a crucial role in epidemiology and evolution in both health and community settings. Multiplex …

Staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec is a genetic mobile element that carries the gene
mecA mediating the methicillin resistance in staphylococci. The aim of this study is to type …

MRSA is able to generate a modified variety of penicillin binding protein named as PBP2a
instead of PBP which makes it resistant against penicillin and methicillin. Production of …

Staphylococcal cassette chromosome is a mobile element that carries the gene mecA
mediating the methicillin resistance in staphylococci. In Staphylococcus aureus five types of …

A multiplex PCR assay was developed for the identification of major types and subtypes of
staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCC mec) in meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus …

Staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCC mec) typing is essential for understanding
the molecular epidemiology of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). SCC …

We developed a novel PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism test for the ccrB gene
by using HinfI and BsmI for rapid typing of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCC …
