A virulence-associated gene microarray: a tool for investigation of the evolution and pathogenic potential of Staphylococcus aureus
1 Nov 2004
Abstract excerpt
An oligonucleotide probe microarray for investigation of the evolution of epidemic Staphylococcus aureus strains has been constructed. The array comprises 383 probes based on virulence-associated genes present in four key strains. Twelve strains including seven for which the complete chromosomal nucleotide sequence was available were tested on the array. Twenty-six per cent of the probes were able to...
