Single-nucleotide polymorphism genotyping identifies a locally endemic clone of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Single-nucleotide polymorphism genotyping identifies a locally endemic clone of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

We developed, tested, and applied a TaqMan real-time PCR assay for interrogation of three single-nucleotide polymorphisms that differentiate a clade (termed 't003-X') within the radiation of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) ST225. The TaqMan assay achieved 98% typeability...
