Hospital-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from Pakistan: molecular characterisation by microarray technology
The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Pakistan is known to be high, but very few studies have described the molecular epidemiology of the different MRSA clones circulating...
PublicationsMolecular characterization of Staphylococcus aureus isolates causing skin and soft tissue infections in patients from Malakand, Pakistan
Comparatively few studies have been published describing Staphylococcus aureus/MRSA epidemiology in Central Asia including Pakistan. Here, we report the genotyping of Staphylococcus aureus strains (that...
PublicationsStaphylococcus aureus colonization related to severity of hand eczema
Knowledge on Staphylococcus aureus colonization rates and epidemiology in hand eczema is limited. The aim of this study was to clarify some of these issues. Samples were collected by the Bglove juice^...
PublicationsMolecular epidemiology and characterisation of MRSA isolates from Trinidad and Tobago
Eighty methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates from three hospitals in Trinidad and Tobago were collected and genotyped using microarray hybridisation. They were found to belong to...
PublicationsIntra-strain variability of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains ST228-MRSA-I and ST5-MRSA-II
Isolates belonging to two major epidemic strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from clonal complex 5 were characterised using diagnostic microarrays in order to detect and analyse...
PublicationsCharacterisation of MRSA from Malta and the description of a Maltese epidemic MRSA strain
Malta has one of the highest prevalence rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Europe. However, only limited typing data are currently available. In order to address this situation,...
PublicationsMolecular fingerprinting of Staphylococcus aureus from bone and joint infections
The objective of the study was to determine if a clonal complex (CC) of Staphylococcus aureus or certain virulence and adhesion factors were associated with infections of bones and prosthetic implants....
PublicationsMolecular epidemiology of Staphylococcus aureus in asymptomatic carriers
Microarrays were used to extensively characterise 155 Staphylococcus aureus isolates obtained from asymptomatic carriers from Saxony, Germany, in order to determine clonal complex affiliation, as well...
PublicationsCooperative amplification of templates by cross-hybridization (CATCH)
In vitro amplification systems not only serve as a tool for the processing of DNA, but have also provided important model systems for the investigation of fundamental issues in evolutionary optimization....
PublicationsDevelopment of a diagnostic multiplex polymerase chain reaction microarray assay to detect and differentiate Brucella spp.
Brucellosis is a worldwide zoonosis leading to tremendous economic losses and severe human illness. Fast and reliable laboratory tests are needed to detect disease in both humans and animals and to monitor...
