Fiber-to-the- curb Loop ( FTTC Loop): A Local Loop consisting of fiber optic cable connecting to a copper distribution plant that is not more than five-hundred (500) feet from the customer’s Premises or, in the case of predominantly residential multiple dwelling units ( MDUs), not more than five-hundred (500) feet from the MDU’s minimum point of entry ( MPOE). Federal Universal Service Fund (FUSF): A fund administered by the Universal Service Administrative Company ( USAC) into which Telecommunications Carriers pay their FUSF contributions. 1999 43(6):1449–58.Federal Universal Service Charge (FUSC). An End User charge that allows a Telecommunications Carrier to recover certain costs of its universal service contributions from its customers. Cloning and nucleotide sequence determination of the entire mec DNA of pre-methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus N315. Structural comparison of three types of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec integrated in the chromosome in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Ito T, Katayama Y, Asada K, Mori N, Tsutsumimoto K, Tiensasitorn C, et al. Methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus isolates: The “mec alphabet” with specific consideration of mecC, a mec homolog associated with zoonotic S. īecker K, Ballhausen B, Köck R, Kriegeskorte A. Rapid microarray based identification of different mecA alleles in Staphylococci. Monecke S, Muller E, Schwarz S, Hotzel H, Ehricht R. It can be assumed that MRSA strains with SCCmec elements that include fusC have a selective advantage in both hospital and community settings warranting a review of the use of topical antibiotics and indicating the necessity of reducing over-the-counter sale of antibiotics, including fusidic acid, without prescription. In addition, further CC30 MRSA strains with other SCCmec VI elements harbouring fusC were found to circulate in the Arabian Gulf region. It was also identified in CC8 and ST834 isolates. This element was identified in CC30 MRSA from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates that usually also harbour the Panton-Valentin leukocidin (PVL) genes. The fusidic acid resistance gene fusC was present, but contrary to the previously sequenced element of HDE288, it was not accompanied by tirS. It consisted of a class B mec complex and ccrA/B-4 genes. In this study we examined a series of related CC30-MRSA isolates from the Arabian Gulf countries that presented with SCCmec elements and fusC, including a variant that-to the best of our knowledge-has not yet formally been described. aureus (MRSA) strains that harbour plasmid-borne fusB/far1 or fusC that is localised on SCC elements. There is an increasing number of methicillin-resistant S. It is frequently used in topical preparations, i.e., ointments, for the treatment of skin and soft tissue infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus. 12 Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, College of Medicine, King Khalid University Hospital and King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.įusidic acid is a steroid antibiotic known since the 1960s.11 Agiomix FZ-LLC, Dubai Science Park Warehouse Complex, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.10 Institute for Medical Microbiology and Hygiene, Medical Faculty "Carl Gustav Carus", Technische Universität Dresden, Dresden, Germany.9 Department of Laboratory Medicine, Hospital Dresden-Neustadt, Dresden, Germany.8 Microbiology & Infection Control Unit, Pathology Department, Rashid Hospital, Dubai Health Authority, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.7 PTC - Phage Technology Center GmbH, Bönen, Germany.6 Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (IPHT), Jena, Germany.5 Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, Kuwait University, Jabriya, Kuwait.4 Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut (Federal Research Institute for Animal Health), Institute of Bacterial Infections and Zoonoses, Jena, Germany.3 Abbott (Alere Technologies GmbH), Jena, Germany.2 InfectoGnostics Research Campus Jena, Jena, Germany.1 College of Medicine, Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
