PCR-based identification of methicillin–resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains and their antibiotic resistance profiles
1 May 2014
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To evaluated the PCR for mecA gene compared with the conventional oxacillin disk diffusion method for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) identification. METHODS: A total of 292 S. aureus strains were isolated from various clinical specimens obtained from hospitalized patients. Susceptibility test to several antimicrobial agents was performed by disk diffusion agar according to...
