Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the allelic variability of ccrA and ccrB among methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains belonging to different genetic lineages and carrying different SCCmec types. METHODS: Internal fragments from both genes were obtained by PCR amplification with pairs of degenerate primers and the nucleotide sequence was determined for both strands. Nucleotide sequences were aligned...
