ABSTRACT
AIM:
To evaluate a novel sequence-based coa typing method in classification for nosocomial methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.METHOD:
D1 and D2 regions of coa gene were used to discriminate methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and compared with other classical sequence-based methods with discriminate power.RESULTS:
All MRSA isolates were divided into 11 types and about 20 subtypes with coa typing method here. The discriminate power of this coa typing method was better than MLST or spa method.CONCLUSION:
It was demonstrated that this coa method is a simple, rapid, and effective technique applicable for outbreak or local nosocomial MRSA investigations in the future.
