Genetic diversity among methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE).

Microbial drug resistance (Larchmont, N.Y.) - 1 Jan 2005

Miragaia M, Couto I, de Lencastre H

Abstract excerpt

We selected 106 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE) and 22 methicillin-susceptible S. epidermidis (MSSE) hospital isolates--each with a different PFGE pattern--for more detailed documentation of genetic diversity. The 106 MRSE isolates showed extensive variation in the SmaI DNA fragments hybridizing with the DNA probe for mecA, the molecular size of which varied from as low as 20 kb up to over...
