Multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) was performed with 292 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates previously characterized by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, multilocus sequence typing, and staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec typing. Quantitative correspondence analyses showed the best correlation between data when an >or=80% cutoff was applied to MLVA. We confirmed the validity of MLVA for identification of related strains in a polyclonal MRSA population.
采用多位点可变数目串联重复分析(MLVA)对 292 株先前经脉冲场凝胶电泳、多位点序列分型和葡萄球菌盒式染色体 mec 分型鉴定的耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)进行分析。定量对应分析显示,当 MLVA 应用 >或=80%的截断值时,数据相关性最佳。我们在多克隆 MRSA 群体中证实了 MLVA 用于鉴定相关菌株的有效性。
