4 A gram positive coccus called Staphylococcus aureus that is resistant to methicillin (a type of penicillin) Resist β-lactamlactam antibiotics, marolides, lincosamides, chloramphenical, tetracyclines, aminoglycosides, sulphametoxazole and trimethoprim (Thornsberry,, 1988) MRSA Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus The most frequent causes of nosocomial infection. 4

5 Mechanism of resistance to methicillin. Production of an altered drug target, called penicillin- binding protein 2a (PBP 2a or PBP 2 ) 2 PBP2a has low affinity for β-lactams Encoded by meca gene. 5

6 Penicillin Normal PBP Altered PBP 2a X The meca gene is found within a chromosomal DNA region called Staphylococcal Chromosome Cassette mec (SCCmec) 6

7 Structure of SCCmec mec. ThesizeofSCCmec ranges from approximately 21 to 67 kb, or 1%-2% of the entire S. aureus genome (Ito, T.,2001. Hiramatsu, K.,1995.) methicillin-susceptible S. aureus In addition to the mec locus, SCCmec may contain several additional resistance genes, adhesion factors and numerous open reading frames

8 They carry two essential genetic components mec-gene complex (mec) The mec is composed of meca, intact or truncated sets of regulatory genes, mecr1 and meci, and insertion sequences, IS431 and/or IS1272. Three classes ccr-gene complex (ccr) Class A mec: IS431-mecA-mecR1-mecI Class B mec: IS431-mecA-mecR1-IS1272 Class C mec: IS431-mecA-mecR1-IS431 (cassette chromosome recombinase) The ccr is composed of two site-specific recombinase genes, ccra and ccrb, responsible for the mobility of SCCmec, and surrounding orfs of unknown function. Four allotypes Type 1 ccr : ccrb1-ccra1. Type 2 ccr : ccrb2-ccra2. Type 3 ccr : ccrb3-ccra3. Type 5 ccr :ccrc. Ito, T, I S A A R

9 The rests of the SCCmec are designated J regions (J stands for junkyard)that contain various genes or pseudo genes whose presence does not appear essential or useful for the bacterial cell. J regions (J1,J2,J3) are located between and around the mec and ccr complexes. 5 J3 mec J2 ccr J1 3 Types of SCCmec mec. Allotypes of SCCmec elements and classified basedonthe combination of the class of mec and the type of ccr. However, other researchers classified the element by different definition. Ito, T, I S A A R

10 Types of SCCmec mec. (In the new system) Types mec-gene complex ccr-gene complex I (type 1B) II (type 2A) III (type 3A) IV (type 2B) -IVa (type 2B1) -IVb (type 2B2) -IVc (type 2B3) -IVd (type 2B4) V (type 5C) Class B Class A Class A Class B Class B Class B Class B Class B Class C Type 1 Type 2 Type 3 Type 2 Type 2 Type 2 Type 2 Type 2 Type 5 J regions* Ito, T, I S A A R

(Kilic et al., J. Clin. Microbiol 44; ) CA-MRSA strains, which carry SCCmec-IV, showed greater susceptibility than SCCmec-II-carried HA-MRSA strains to clindamycin, erythromycin, levofloxacin, gentamicin, rifampin, minocycline, and SXT.
