摘要：

A total of 102 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates collected from 50 injured service members ( June 2009 to December 2011) at U.S. military treatment facilities were analyzed for the conventional mecA gene and mecC homologue by using standard PCR-based methods. The prevalence of the mecC homologue was zero.
