Abstract excerpt
Three methods for molecular typing of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were compared. The method which amplified the variable number of tandem repeat of dru sequences grouped the isolates into six types. Whereas, the method examining restriction fragment length polymorphism of coagulase gene and the method using arbitrarily primed-PCR showed poor diversity in...
