We recently described a novel staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) element, designated type VIII. We report here a multiplex PCR assay, capable of identifying SCCmec type VIII. This assay will facilitate identification of this new SCCmec type and provides a useful tool for clinical and epidemiologic studies in this regard.
我们最近描述了一种新型的葡萄球菌盒式染色体 mec（SCCmec）元件，命名为 VIII 型。我们在此报告一种能够识别 SCCmec VIII 型的多重 PCR 检测方法。该检测方法将有助于识别这种新型 SCCmec 类型，并为这方面的临床和流行病学研究提供有用的工具。
