A Novel Methicillin‐Resistance Cassette in Community‐Acquired Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates of Diverse Genetic Backgrounds
Open accessAbstract
Until recently, it has been unclear whether community-acquired (CA) methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates represent the spread of hospital MRSA isolates into the community. In 2 CA-MRSA isolates, a novel genetic element, designated staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) type IV, was found; it differs from SCCmec types I-III in its small size and absence of non-beta-lactam genetic-resistance determinants. To study the prevalence of type IV SCCmec, polymerase chain reaction characterization of SCCmec was performed on DNA from 12 CA-MRSA isolates. The 12 CA-MRSA isolates were from diverse genetic backgrounds, as evidenced by their stratification into 5 pulsed-field gel electrophoresis types, 4 coagulase types, and 2 ribotypes. Eleven of the 12 isolates contained the novel SCCmec type IV element. Ten were resistant only to beta-lactam antibiotics. SCCmec type IV is present on the genome of CA-MRSA isolates. Its relatively small size and presence in isolates of diverse genetic backgrounds suggest that it may spread among S. aureus isolates.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
