Molecular Typing of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus: Can PCR Replace Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis?

Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) is considered the “gold standard” for molecular typing of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). However, the method is time-consuming and expensive, and its discriminatory power may not be necessary in outbreak situations. We used a rapid multipl...
