Abstract in Portuguese
Os tipos de cassete cromossômico estafilocócico mec (SCCmec) encontrados em cepas de Staphylococcus aureus resistente a oxacilina (ORSA) isoladas em ambiente hospitalar são denominados I, II e III. Um novo SCCmec, tipo IV, foi identificado em cepas isoladas de pacientes que não tinham conexão aparente com hospitais. Essas cepas, denominadas ORSA adquiridas na comunidade ou CA-ORSA, não costumam conter genes de resistência a antimicrobianos além do gene mecA, porém, são mais virulentas. Com a finalidade de conhecer a diversidade estrutural do SCCmec de cepas ORSA brasileiras, foram estudadas 50 cepas ORSA, entre elas algumas S. aureus com resistência intermediária a vancomicina (VISA) e S. aureus com resistência heterogênea intermediária a vancomicina (HVISA). As cepas foram isoladas entre 1995 e 2000, provenientes de hospitais de 13 Estados brasileiros, pertencentes a diversos clones de PFGE. As cepas foram analisadas quanto ao perfil de sensibilidade, RFLP do gene da coagulase, fagotipagem e tipagem do SCCmec. A maioria das cepas é pertencente ao clone endêmico brasileiro, que carrega o SCCmec tipo III, também presente em outros clones de PFGE. O SCCmec tipo IV, encontrado em 3 cepas (clones J, L e D), mostrou suscetibilidade a um maior número de antimicrobianos pertencentes a diferentes classes, em comparação aos outros tipos de SCCmec. O SCCmec tipo IV está presente entre os ORSA brasileiros e pode estar disseminando na comunidade e hospitais do país.

Abstract in English
The types of SCCmec found in nosocomial methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains can be designated type I, II or III. A novel type of SCCmec, designated type IV, was identified in strains isolated in outpatients. These strains, called community-acquired MRSA or CA-MRSA, do not contain antimicrobial resistance genes other than mecA, however, they are more virulent. In order to characterise the structural diversity of SCCmec in Brazilian MRSA strains, 50 MRSA strains were studied, including some vancomycin intermediate resistant S. aureus (VISA) and heterogeneous vancomycin intermediate S. aureus (HVISA) strains. All strains were isolated between 1995-2000, in hospitaIs in 13 Brazilian States, and belonged to different PFGE clones. Strains were analysed as to their susceptibility profile, RFLP of the coagulase gene, phagetype and SCCmec type. The majority of strains belonged to the Brazilian Endemic Clone, which carries an type IH SCCmec, which in turn, was also found in other PFGE clones. The type IV SCCmec was found in 3 strains (belonging to the J, L and D clones) and presented a susceptibility profile to a number of drugs of different antimicrobial classes. The type IV SCCmec is present among Brazilian MRSA strains and can be disseminated in the community and in hospitaIs throughout the country.
