First Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec Containing a mecB-Carrying Gene Complex Independent of Transposon Tn6045 in a Macrococcus caseolyticus Isolate from a Canine Infection.

PMID 25987634 · 2015

The study identified a novel SCC mec element containing the mecB gene complex in a methicillin-resistant Macrococcus caseolyticus isolate, which is independent of transposon Tn6045. The mecB gene confers methicillin resistance, and the blaZm gene contributes to penicillin resistance.
