Abstract excerpt
We used a method for molecular typing the methicillin resistance determinant (mec) based on the size of the mec-associated hypervariable region amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to examine 61 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), 15 methicillin-resistant (Mcr) S. epid...
