Clinical characteristics and factors related to infection with SCCmec type II and IV Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a Japanese secondary care facility: a single-center retrospective study

Objectives: Differences in virulence genes, including psm-mec, which is a phenol-soluble modulin-mec (PSM-mec) encoding gene, of predominant staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) types II and IV Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) may contribute to the virulence and clinical...
