Molecular Typing of Methicillin ResistantStaphylococcus aureusClinical Isolates on the Basis of Protein A and Coagulase Gene Polymorphisms
1 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
Increased frequency of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in hospitalized patients requires rapid and reliable characterization of isolates for control of MRSA spread in hospitals. This study evaluated polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) as a molecular typing technique for MRSA strains on the basis of protein A (spa) and coagulase (coa) gene polymorphisms...
