Popis: Staphylococcal chromosomal cassette mec (SCCmec) type IV methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has rapidly disseminated in healthcare settings, and its characteristics in the United States and Europe are well known. Because Japanese SCCmec type IV MRSA clones are different and less well documented, this retrospective, single center study was done to determine and compare the characteristics of SCCmec type II and IV MRSA in Japan. For the analysis, 55 SCCmec type II and 101 type IV MRSA samples were collected from lower respiratory tract specimens or from skin or soft tissue. The patients of the SCCmec type IV group were significantly younger than those of the type II group (P
