Previously we identified a SCCmec variant similar in size to type IV but with a new ccrAB allotype, allotype 4. We addressed the epidemiological relevance of this variant and found it among several strains belonging to the same clone. We propose to rename this structural variant SCCmec type VI.
此前我们鉴定出一种SCCmec变体,其大小与IV型相似,但具有一种新的ccrAB等位基因类型,即等位基因4型。我们探讨了这种变体的流行病学相关性,并在属于同一克隆的几个菌株中发现了它。我们建议将这种结构变体重新命名为SCCmec VI型。
