Genotyping of European isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus by fluorescent amplified-fragment length polymorphism analysis (FAFLP) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) typing.

Abstract excerpt

A representative panel of 50 European MRSA isolates was subjected to genotype analysis by fluorescent amplified-fragment length polymorphism (FAFLP) and by macrorestriction pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Each isolate had a unique profile with FAFLP. To model genetic relationships within the continuing MRSA epidemic, cluster analysis of FAFLP data was made, revealing nine clone complexes of MRSA. Most of...
