Molecular typing of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) encompasses a suite of laboratory methods designed to discriminate and track bacterial lineages based on their genetic signatures ...
Staphylococcus aureus is a versatile pathogen responsible for a spectrum of conditions ranging from superficial skin infections to invasive diseases such as bacteraemia and endocarditis. Central to ...
Objective To evaluate microbiological effectiveness, that is, culture negativity of a non-blinded eradication protocol (Rx) compared with observation (Obs) in clinically stable cystic fibrosis ...
However, the remaining 66.66% of isolates were not classified into the tested SCCmec types. PCR genomic fingerprinting revealed high genetic variability of MRSA. (GTG) 5 and BOXA1R-PCR generated 26 ...
Molecular typing (spa typing and SCCmec typing) and antimicrobial susceptibility testing were performed. Results: Sixty-four spa types were identified, including five novel types, and the isolates ...
