Abstract excerpt
AIM: To evaluate a novel sequence-based coa typing method in classification for nosocomial methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. METHOD: D1 and D2 regions of coa gene were used to discriminate methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and compared with other classical sequence-based methods with discriminate power. RESULTS: All MRSA isolates were divided into 11 types and about 20 subtypes with coa...
