Sequence analysis of the variable number tandem repeat in Staphylococcus aureus protein A gene: spa typing.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.) - 1 Jan 2008

Mathema Barun, Mediavilla Jose, Kreiswirth Barry N

Abstract excerpt

The analyses of numerous prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes have revealed the presence of variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs). VNTR analysis is currently widely used to sub-speciate many bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens and has facilitated a number of molecular epidemiology studies. In this chapter, we focus on spa typing which is based on sequence analysis of VNTRs in the polymorphic X region of the...
