Claim 2:
3. The composition of claim 1, wherein the composition further comprises at least a third MREJ amplification oligomer configured to hybridize specifically to at least one of an SCCmec sequence of at least one of MREJ types i, ii, iii, iv, v, vi, vii, viii, ix, xii, xiii, xiv, or xxi which is different from the MREJ type to which the second MREJ amplification oligomer is configured to specifically hybridize to, wherein the third MREJ amplification oligomer is configured to produce an orfX/SCCmec junction amplicon of a length ranging from about 50 nucleotides to about 2000 nucleotides; or the composition further comprises a plurality of MREJ amplification oligomers configured to hybridize specifically to at least one of an SCCmec sequence of at least one of MREJ types i, ii, iii, iv, v, vi, vii, viii, ix, xii, xiii, xiv, xv, or xxi, wherein the at least one orfX amplification oligomer and the MREJ amplification oligomers of the composition collectively are configured to produce orfX/SCCmec junction amplicons from at least 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, or 14 of MREJ types i, ii, iii, iv, v, vi, vii, viii, ix, xii, xiii, xiv, xv, or xxi, wherein the orfX/SCCmec junction amplicons are of lengths ranging from about 200 nucleotides to about 2000 nucleotides.
