Journal ArticleDOI
Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis as a replacement for bacteriophage typing of Staphylococcus aureus.
TL;DR: A modified, standardized PFGE methodology should enable typing laboratories to obtain rapid, reliable results in 3 to 4 days when starting with an isolated colony on agar media.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of traditional and molecular methods of typing isolates of Staphylococcus aureus.
Fred C. Tenover,Robert D. Arbeit,G Archer,James W. Biddle,S Byrne,Richard V. Goering,G A Hancock,G A Hébert,B C Hill,R Hollis +9 more
TL;DR: Phage typing, plasmid DNA restriction analysis, and antibiogram analysis, the techniques most readily available to clinical laboratories, identified 23 to 26 of 29 outbreak-related isolates and assigned 0 to 6 unrelated isolates to outbreak strain types.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of Staphylococci with Reduced Susceptibilities to Vancomycin and Other Glycopeptides
Fred C. Tenover,Michael V. Lancaster,B C Hill,Christine D. Steward,Sheila A. Stocker,G A Hancock,Caroline M. O'Hara,Nancye C. Clark,Keiichi Hiramatsu +8 more
TL;DR: B strains of staphylococci with reduced susceptibility to glycopeptides, such as vancomycin, are best detected in the laboratory by nonautomated quantitative tests incubated for a full 24 h.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics of coagulase-negative staphylococci that help differentiate these species and other members of the family Micrococcaceae
TL;DR: Three simple tests for synergistic hemolysis, adherence to glass, pyroglutamyl-beta-naphthylamide hydrolysis, and susceptibility to a set of five antimicrobial agents for differentiating these species and strains within the species are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergence and control of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a children's hospital and pediatric long-term care facility.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the response to therapy with rifampin alone or in combination with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole for MRSA infection.
