To determine the predominant staphylococcal cassette chromosome (SCC) mec element in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, we typed 190 isolates from a hospital in Taiwan. We found a shift from type IV to type III SCCmec element during 1992-2003, perhaps caused by selective pressure from indiscriminate use of antimicrobial drugs.
为确定耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌中主要的葡萄球菌盒式染色体(SCC)mec元件,我们对来自台湾一家医院的190株分离株进行了分型。我们发现,在1992年至2003年期间,SCCmec元件出现了从IV型到III型的转变,这可能是由于抗菌药物的滥用所产生的选择压力导致的。
