Identify SCCmec elements in Staphylococcus aureus genomes.

This subworkflow uses SCCmec to identify the Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec (SCCmec) element in Staphylococcus aureus assemblies. It predicts the type based on the presence of specific mec and ccr gene complexes, generating detailed BLAST results and typing information.
