Abstract excerpt
A total of 118 meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and 140 meticillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) isolates from different patients in the same time period were comprehensively searched using a multiplex PCR for the classical and recently described superantigenic toxin gene family comprising the staphylococcal enterotoxin genes sea to ser and the toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 gene, tst-1. Both MRSA...
