Multiplex PCR Assay for Simultaneous Detection of Nine Clinically Relevant Antibiotic Resistance Genes in<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>
1 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
In this study we describe a multiplex PCR assay for the detection of nine clinically relevant antibiotic resistance genes of Staphylococcus aureus. Conditions were optimized to amplify fragments of mecA (encoding methicillin resistance), aacA-aphD (aminoglycoside resistance), tetK, tetM (tetracycline resistance), erm(A), erm(C) (macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B resistance), vat(A), vat(B), and vat(C)...
