Novel Polymorphisms in mec Genes and a New mec Complex Type in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates Obtained in Rural Wisconsin

We determined allelic polymorphisms in the mec complexes of 524 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates by partial or complete sequencing of three mec genes, mecA, mecI, and mecR1. The isolates had been collected over a 10-year period from patients living in rural Wisconsin, where the u...
