SCCmec typing for Staphylococcus aureus

Our latest update introduces SCCmec (Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec) typing, providing comprehensive insights into methicillin resistance in S. aureus samples. This typing system helps identify and classify the mobile genetic elements responsible for methicillin resistance. The SCCmec type is determined using the sccmec tool.
