摘要: A bacteriophage M13 tandem repeat has been used to probe EcoRI digested genomic DNA of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The patterns generated were found be useful in typing MRSA and generally confirmed the relationships that had previously recognized other studies based on antimicrobial resistance plasmid profiles. epidemic London hospitals (EMRSA) majority eastern Australian (EA MRSA) gave same pattern. However, two isolates classified as EA a different pattern third another One isolate from Dublin, Nuneaton Singapore MRSA. With exception early or classic all examined their own distinctive patterns. one belonged separate group. was particular interest because it This suggests there may an evolutionary relationship between some EMRSA Australia.
