Clonal diversity of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in an acute-care institution.

Infection control and hospital epidemiology - 1 Jan 1992

Nicolle L E, Bialkowska-Hobrzanska H, Romance L, Harry V S, Parker S

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate plasmid and chromosomal typing methods for differentiation of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). DESIGN: Comparison of relatedness of strains using epidemiologic features, phage typing, and antimicrobial susceptibility with blinded assessment by molecular typing methods. Molecular typing methods included AccI and ClaI restriction endonuclease fingerprinting of chromosomal...
