Abstract excerpt

Many isolates of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are indistinguishable when compared using the standard pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) typing method. This may present a problem when investigating local outbreaks of MRSA transmission in a healthcare setting. It also impedes investigation of the widely disseminated community-acquired MRSA (USA 300-0114) in the inpatient setting, which is...
