Multiplex PCR for Simultaneous Identification of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> and Detection of Methicillin and Mupirocin Resistance
1 Nov 2001
Abstract excerpt
In this work, we describe a multiplex PCR assay for the detection of clinically relevant antibiotic resistance genes harbored by some Staphylococcus aureus isolates and for the simultaneous identification of such isolates at the species level. Conditions were optimized for the simultaneous detection of the 310-, 456-, and 651-bp regions of the mecA (encoding high-level methicillin resistance), ileS-2 (encoding...
