Abstract excerpt
Repetitive sequence-based (Rep)-PCR genotyping as described here is based on the presence of homologues of Mycoplasma pneumoniae repeat-like elements in Staphylococcus. In this study we comparatively evaluated the usefulness of rep-PCR typing with two sets of well-defined collections of Staphylococcus aureus strains. Rep-PCR analysis of the first collection of S. aureus strains (n = 59) and one Staphylococcus...
