Abstract excerpt

AIM: Absolute and relative quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) by the use of two mathematical models were applied in order to study the expression of tst gene encoding the toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1), among methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). METHODS AND RESULTS: Thirteen epidemic MRSA belonging to different clones and carrying a variety of...
