Abstract excerpt
Small-fragment restriction endonuclease analysis (SF-REA) was established as a typing tool for Staphylococcus epidermidis. A total of 60 isolates comprising 48 epidemiologically nonrelated strains and 12 putatively linked isolates from 7 patients in 2 wards were analyzed. Nonrelated isolates were...
