Rapid and Accurate Species-Level Identification of Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci by Using the <i>sodA</i> Gene as a Target
1 Dec 2001
Abstract excerpt
Simple PCR and sequencing assays that utilize a single pair of degenerate primers were used to characterize a 429-bp-long DNA fragment internal (sodA(int)) to the sodA gene encoding the manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase in 40 coagulase-negative staphylococcal (CNS) type strains. The topology of the phylogenetic tree obtained was in general agreement with that which was inferred from an analysis of their...
