Abstract excerpt

The extensive geographic spread of MRSA isolates belonging to the Brazilian epidemic clone (BEC) limited the value of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) in epidemiological studies of outbreaks caused by these strains. Thus, the discriminatory power of eight different molecular methods was evaluated in an attempt to establish a methodology for genotyping BEC isolates involved in intra-hospital outbreaks. BEC...
