Molecular typing of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from Italian dairy products on the basis of coagulase gene polymorphism, multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat and toxin genes.

Abstract excerpt

Coagulase gene restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), six-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis patterns (MLVA) and detection of enterotoxin genes (se) (sea, sec, sed, seg, seh, sei, sej and sel) were used to determine the phylogenetic relationship among isolates of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from dairy products from different regions of Italy. A total of 25 Staph. aureus were subtyped into...
