Abstract EN
The distribution of Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosomal mec (SCCmec) types I, II, III, IV and V was assessed in 137 methicillin-resistant S.aureus (MRSA) isolates obtained from patients from different hospitals in Baghdad city.
Each types responsible for certain virulence factors.
It was found that 38 (27.73%) isolates of MRSA out of 137 contained SCCmecI, the lest percentage of SCCmec types in all MRSA isolates was type II, It was found that 8 (5.83%) isolates only were positive in this type.
While 22 isolates (16.05%) contain SCCmec III.
The number of isolates detected in SCCmec type IV were 53 (38.68%) isolates out of 137 while 86 (62.77%) for type V which represented the highest percentage with contrast with other types.
