Abstract
We identified a novel staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) element in an ST152 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolate by combining Illumina and MinION sequencing. The element contains a new ccrC allotype designated ccrC2. The mec complex resembles mec class A, but with an altered organization of the genes. The element was acknowledged as novel by the International Working Group on the Classification of Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome Elements (IWG-SCC) and designated SCCmec type XIII (9A).
