Type IV SCCmec found in decade old Brazilian MRSA isolates

Type IV SCCmec found in decade old Brazilian MRSA isolates

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) commonly causes infection in hospitalized patients. Since its appearance in the 1960s, the SCCmec has evolved throughout the years into 5 different types (I-V), each bearing a different set of genes. Infection with MRSA SCCmec types I, II or III is...
