Rapid and high-throughput genotyping of Staphylococcus epidermidis isolates by automated multilocus variable-number of tandem repeats: a tool for real-time epidemiology.

Abstract excerpt

Fast and reliable genotyping methods allowing real-time epidemiology would be instrumental to discriminate Staphylococcus epidermidis isolates, in order to evaluate potential cross-infections or to follow genome content of infecting strains of this important opportunistic pathogen. We describe an automated multilocus variable-number tandem repeat-based assay (MLVA) for the rapid genotyping of S. epidermidis....
