Abstract

The optimization of an arbitrarily primed PCR method for typing 96 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates was compared with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. Identical results in the differentiation of MRSA clones and identification of the main cluster that included 82 strains (88% of patients) were obtained by both techniques.

CRISPR & Staphylococcus

CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Staphylococci are associated with life-threatening infections in hospitals, as well as the community. Here is the latest research on how CRISPR-Cas system can be used for treatment of Staphylococcal infections.
