Discriminatory indices of typing methods for epidemiologic analysis of contemporary Staphylococcus aureus strains.
The researchers compared the discriminatory index of 5 typing methods for contemporary S. aureus strain characterization. They found that the typing methods yielded comparable discriminatory power for Aureus characterization overall; when discriminating among USA300 isolates, repetitive sequence-based PCR (repPCR) retained the highest discriminatory power.
