PCR-based identification of<i>Staphylococcus epidermidis</i>targeting<i>gseA</i>encoding the glutamic-acid-specific protease
1 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
The frequency of the gseA gene encoding a glutamic acid-specific serine protease, GluSE, of Staphylococcus epidermidis was investigated. DNA hybridization analysis demonstrated that gseA existed exclusively in S. epidermidis but not in other bacteria examined. A single step PCR assay with a set of designed primers yielded amplification of gseA from all 69 clinical isolates of S. epidermidis taken from patients...
