Abstract excerpt
We used a method for molecular typing of the methicillin resistance determinant (mec) based on the size of the mec-associated hypervariable region amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to examine 106 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), 9 methicillin-resistant (Mcr) S. epidermidis and 5 Mcr S. haemolyticus clinical isolates. In the 106 MRSA isolates, 5 sizes of PCR products were...
