An advanced methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus(MRSA) detection PCR approach targeting SCCmec-orfXalong withmecAandmecCwas evaluated forS. aureusand coagulase-negative staphylococci. The possession ofmecAand/ormecCwas correctly confirmed in all cases. All methicillin-susceptibleS. aureusstrains (n= 98; including staphylococcal cassette chromosomemecelement [SCCmec] remnants) and 98.1% of the MRSA strains (n= 160, including 10mecC-positive MRSA) were accurately categorized.
