Similarity of Antibiotic Resistance Patterns and Molecular Typing Properties of Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Isolates Widely Spread in Hospitals in New York City and in a Hospital in Tokyo, Japan

Abstract excerpt

One hundred and forty-three single-patient methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates collected during April-June, 1997, and February, 1998, in a hospital in Tokyo, Japan, were characterized by molecular typing techniques that involved hybridization of ClaI restriction digests with the mecA- and Tn554-specific DNA probes and determination of macrorestriction patterns of SmaI-digested chromosomal...
