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