Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy - 1 Sept 1990
Archer G L, Pennell E
Abstract excerpt
A DNA probe derived from the PBP 2a gene of the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus COL was compared with phenotypic microbiologic tests for its ability to identify methicillin-resistant and -susceptible staphylococci. Lysates were applied to nitrocellulose with a dot blot apparatus. Isolates tested were both S. aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci that had been recovered from a variety of...
