Natural transformation allows transfer of SCCmec-mediated methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus biofilms

SCCmec is a large mobile genetic element that includes the mecA gene and confers resistance to β-lactam antibiotics in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). There is evidence that SCCmec disseminates among staphylococci, but the transfer mechanisms are unclear. Here, we show that two-c...
