Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus isolates from cows in Ireland (n = 102) and the USA (n = 42) were characterized by RAPD-PCR and analysed for the production of a number of putative virulence factors. Of these strains 63 representative isolates were screened for the corresponding virulence factor genes by PCR or Southern hybridization or both. The isolates were divided into 12 distinct clonal types on the basis of their RAPD...
