Abstract excerpt
The population structure of 111 methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), recovered in Spain from healthy and risk-free carriers was investigated using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), spa (staphylococcal protein A) typing, multi locus sequence typing (MLST) and the accessory gene regulator (agr). Results from the different techniques were highly concordant, and revealed twelve clonal...
