Abstract

ABSTRACT Recently, a novel variant of mecA known as mecC ( mecA LGA251 ) was identified in Staphylococcus aureus isolates from both humans and animals. In this study, we identified a Staphylococcus xylosus isolate that harbors a new allotype of the mecC gene, mecC1 . Whole-genome sequencing revealed that mecC1 forms part of a class E mec complex ( mecI-mecR1-mecC1-blaZ ) located at the orfX locus as part of a likely staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec element (SCC mec ) remnant, which also contains a number of other genes present on the type XI SCC mec .
