Characterization of the SCCmec types of methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) control strains and the 12 MRSA strains. Lanes 2–14 contain MRSA strains from vervets and free-ranging pigs (lane 9 is a negative control). Lanes 16–21 contain MRSA control strains carrying SCCmec types I-VI; lane 16, COL (type I [1B]), lane 17, BK2464 (type II [2A]), lane 18, ANS46 (type III [3A]), lane 19, MW2 (type IV [2B]), lane 20, WIS (Type V [5C]) and lane 21, HDE288 (type VI [4B]). Lane 9 contains a non-template negative control, lanes 1 and 15 contain GeneRuler™ DNA molecular weight ladder (ThermoFisher Scientific Inc., MA, USA). Samples 2–8, and 11–14 amplified similar banding patterns as the control strain COL (162 bp, 342 bp, and 495 bp), Sample 10 (from vervet monkeys) amplified two bands (162 bp (mecA) and 209 bp (mecI))
