Antibiotic-resistant patterns, a  mecA  homologue complex, and staphylococcal cassette chromosome  mec  (SCC mec ) were analysed in samples of ready-to-eat (RTE) street food in Taiwan. RTE food samples (270) were collected in three densely populated Taiwanese cities between June and November 2014. Among 14 strains being identified as methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MRCoNS), genetic diversities was determined by PFGE analysis. SCC mec  types IV, V, VIII and TXG-24 were detected in 9, and  mecA   Ss   (a  mecA  homologue) detected in 8. The  mecA   Ss   gene complex from  S. sciuri  subsp.  sciuri  TXG-24 was found to be closely related to those found in both  S. sciuri  subsp . sciuri  (ATCC29062) and  S. sciuri  subsp . rodentium  (ATCC700061). SCC mec  TXG24  carries a class A  mec  complex, a  ccrA5B3 -like gene complex, a heavy metal gene complex, and an IS 1216  mobile element carrying  tet (S). Matching identity to  ccrA5  was 84.5% for  ccrA  in  S. pseudintermedius  KM241. Matching identify to  ccrB3  was 92.1% for  ccrB  in  S. pseudintermedius  AI16. Similar  ccrA  and SCC mec  boundary sequences suggest that SCC mec  is easily transmitted to coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS). Based on MRCoNS strains identified in this research, Taiwanese RTE food products likely carry multiple antibiotic resistance genes that can be transmitted to hospitals and other clinical settings.
