Abstract
ABSTRACTRecently, a novel variant ofmecAknown asmecC(mecALGA251) was identified inStaphylococcus aureusisolates from both humans and animals. In this study, we identified aStaphylococcus xylosusisolate that harbors a new allotype of themecCgene,mecC1. Whole-genome sequencing revealed thatmecC1forms part of a class Emeccomplex (mecI-mecR1-mecC1-blaZ) located at theorfXlocus as part of a likely staphylococcal cassette chromosomemecelement (SCCmec) remnant, which also contains a number of other genes present on the type XI SCCmec.
