Multiplex PCR Strategy for Rapid Identification of Structural Types and Variants of the <i>mec</i> Element in Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>

1 Jul 2002

Abstract excerpt

Full characterization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) requires definition of not only the bacterial genetic background but also the structure of the complex and heterologous mec element these bacteria carry, which is associated with drug resistance determinant mecA. We report the development, validation, and application of a multiplex PCR strategy that allows quick presumptive...
