Abstract excerpt
A variety of methods for genotyping Staphylococcus aureus isolates exists: the two most widely used methods are pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Here, we describe a sequence-based genotyping method based on genes encoding S. aureus superantigen-like proteins, which belong to a family of exotoxins called staphylococcal exotoxins. The sequences of PCR-amplified internal...
