Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: The emergence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has become a major epidemiological problem worldwide. METHODS: We determined the degree of association between the genotype screening results obtained by pulse-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for 7 hypervariable DNA regions associated with the mecA gene (HVR-mecA PCR), in the epidemiological...
