• A Field Guide to Pandemic, Epidemic and Sporadic Clones of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (2011, methodology): “All Irish MRSA isolates underwent SCCmec typing for (i) the ccr and mec complex genes and (ii) the J regions and mecI [15;85;246;247].”
• The evolution of Staphylococcus aureus. (2008, methodology): “However, this method is not feasible for routine applications, since the relative large number of PCR reactions that are needed to determine the structure of SCCmec are time consuming (Kondo et al., 2007).”
