Schematic representation of the genomic events possibly associated with the evolution and assembly of SCCmec III occurring in the orfX and mec native region of species of Staphylococcus sciuri group. The basic structure of SCCmec in orfX is shown, including attL, attR, mec complex, ccr complex, J1, J2, and J3 regions. The elements present in the native region in species of the S. sciuri group (S. sciuri, S. vitulinus, and S. fleurettii) are shown, including a mecA homolog, the mecR2, J2 and J3 regions. S. sciuri: ss; S. vitulinus: sv; S. fleurettii: sf.
