Abstract
Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive highly pathogenic USA300 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus carries type IV staphylococcal cassette chromosome (SCC) mec. Here, we found USA300-like strains (named as ΨUSA300), which could not be identified as SCCmec type IV by the conventional PCR method due to a 12 bp deletion on ccrB2.Entities:
