  • Title: Multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis for typing of Staphylococcus epidermidis.
    Author: Johansson A, Koskiniemi S, Gottfridsson P, Wiström J, Monsen T.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2006 Jan; 44(1):260-5. PubMed ID: 16390986.
    Abstract:
    We applied a high-resolution PCR-based typing method, multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA), for discrimination of 30 multidrug-resistant clinical isolates of Staphylococcus epidermidis. The results of MLVA were congruent with results obtained by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). MLVA generated discrete character data, and its discriminatory capacity was comparable to that of PFGE.
