The region surrounding mecA in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is highly variable. We describe an approach for the rapid genotyping of MRSA by assaying for the presence or absence of variable or mobile elements previously shown to be associated with the mecA region.
耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)中mecA基因周围的区域高度可变。我们描述了一种通过检测先前显示与mecA区域相关的可变或可移动元件的存在与否来对MRSA进行快速基因分型的方法。
