Abstract excerpt
In order to perform a cost-effective search and destroy policy for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a quick and reliable typing method is essential. In an area with a high level of animal-related MRSA ST398, pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) typing and spa-typing are not sufficient to discriminate between co-incidental findings and true transmission of MRSA. This study is the first to...
