Multiplex PCR Strategy for Rapid Identification of Structural Types and Variants of the mec Element in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (2002, methodology): “The primary criteria originally used for the classification of the mec element into three structural types were the structure of the mecA complex (mecA gene with the upstream regulatory region) and the nature of the ccrAB allele (12), the function of which is associated with the precise insertion an”
Genomic islands: tools of bacterial horizontal gene transfer and evolution (2008, background): “The five SCCmec subtypes identified so far range in size from 20 to 70 kb and confer resistance to methicillin, kanamycin, tobramycin, bleomycin, penicillins, heavy metals, tetracycline, macrolide, lincosamide and streptogramin (Ito et al., 2001; Deurenberg et al., 2007).”
