Analysis of genomic diversity within the Xr-region of the protein A gene in clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus.

Epidemiology and infection - 1 Apr 1999

Kobayashi N, Urasawa S, Uehara N, Watanabe N

Abstract excerpt

Protein A of Staphylococcus aureus contains a polymorphic Xr-region characterized by a tandem repeat of eight amino acid units. In this study, the diversity of genes encoding the repeat regions and their relatedness among S. aureus strains was analyzed. Ten different protein-A types characterized by repeat numbers 4-13 were identified in a total of 293 clinical isolates. The protein-A type with 10 repeat units...
