CHARACTERIZATION OF A NOVEL ARGININE CATABOLIC MOBILE ELEMENT (ACME) AND STAPHYLOCOCCAL CHROMOSOMAL CASSETTE mec COMPOSITE ISLAND WITH SIGNIFICANT HOMOLOGY TO STAPHYLOCOCCUS EPIDERMIDIS ACME TYPE II IN METHICILLIN-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS GENOTYPE ST22-MRSA-IV
(2011)The arginine catabolic mobile element (ACME) is prevalent among ST8-MRSA-IVa (USA300) isolates and evidence suggests that ACME enhances the ability of ST8-MRSA-IVa to grow and survive on its host. ACME has been identified ... -
EXTENSIVE GENETIC DIVERSITY IDENTIFIED AMONG SPORADIC METHICILLIN-RESISTANT Staphylococcus aureus ISOLATES RECOVERED IN IRISH HOSPITALS BETWEEN 2000-2012
(2014)Clonal replacement of predominant nosocomial methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains has occurred several times in Ireland during the last four decades. However, little is known about sporadically-occurring ... -
A novel multidrug-resistant PVL-negative CC1-MRSA-1 IV clone emerging in Ireland and Germany likely originated in South-Eastern Europe
(2019)This study investigated the recent emergence of multidrug-resistant Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-negative CC1-MRSA-IV in Ireland and Germany. Ten CC1-MSSA and 139 CC1-MRSA isolates recovered in Ireland between 2004 ... -
STAPHYLOCOCCAL CASSETTE CHROSOMOME MEC: RECENT ADVANCES AND NEW INSIGHTS
(2013)Staphylococcal cassette chromosome (SCC) elements are complex mobile genetic elements that often carry antimicrobial resistance and in some cases virulence-associated genes. In addition to SCCmec, which harbours the ...
