Type V staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec in community staphylococci from Australia
Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy, Vol.49(12), pp.5129-5132
2005
Abstract
Twenty Australian community staphylococci harboring the type V staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) were found to belong to eight multilocus sequence types. Five were previously unreported novel type V SCCmec elements. The mec complexes were of two types, based on the polymorphisms in the IS431 transposase genes. Five isolates were multiresistant.
