Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In order to study the micro-epidemiology of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) effectively, the molecular typing method used must be able to distinguish between different MRSA strains. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) can detect small genetic differences but is l...
