Use of Multiplex PCR To Identify <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Adhesins Involved in Human Hematogenous Infections
1 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
We have developed a multiplex PCR procedure to determine the distribution of nine adhesin genes in Staphylococcus aureus isolates. Only genes encoding bone sialoprotein binding protein and fibronectin binding protein B were significantly associated with hematogenous osteomyelitis/arthritis and native-valve endocarditis, respectively, suggesting their involvement in hematogenous tissue infections.
