Evaluation for a Novel Methicillin Resistance ( mecC ) Homologue in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates Obtained from Injured Military Personnel Article (Web of Science)

abstract

  • ABSTRACT A total of 102 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates collected from 50 injured service members (June 2009 to December 2011) at U.S. military treatment facilities were analyzed for the conventional mecA gene and mecC homologue by using standard PCR-based methods. The prevalence of the mecC homologue was zero.
