Genetic Diagnosis of Community-Acquired MRSA: A Multiplex Real-Time PCR Method for Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec Typing and Detecting Toxin Genes
1 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) causes a wide range of infections in health care settings and community environments. In particular, community-acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA) is important for clinicians because many fatal cases in healthy populations have been reported. Staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) is a mobile genetic element and carries the central determinant for broad-spectrum...
