SCCmec SCC''mec'', or staphylococcal cassette chromosome ''mec'', is a mobile genetic element of ''Staphylococcus'' bacterial species. This genetic sequence includes the ''mecA'' gene coding for resistance to the antibiotic methicillin and is the only known way for ''Staphylococcus'' strains to spread the gene in the wild by horizontal gene transfer. ==Classification== Not all SCC''mec'' elements are identical (in fact, SCC elements without the ''mecA'' gene do exist.〔) SCC''mec'' elements have been classified into six types (I through VI) on the basis of two specific regions of their nucleotide sequences. One region is the ''mec'' complex including the ''mecA'' gene. The other is the ''ccr'' gene complex including genes coding for recombinases. The ''mec'' complex is divided further into five types (I through V) based on the arrangement of regulatory genetic features such as ''mecR1'', an inducer.
