New Research on Medical Science from Medical University of Lublin Summarized [The Multiple-Locus Variable Number Tandem Repeat Analysis (MLVA) of Staphylococuss aureus clinical isolates recovered from the Provincial Specialist Hospital in...].

A study conducted at the Medical University of Lublin investigated the molecular epidemiology of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) in a hospital setting using multiple-locus variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) analysis (MLVA). The study included 31 clinical SA isolates and generated 30 MLVA profiles. The analysis revealed a high genetic diversity among the isolates and suggested a limited degree of intra- and inter-ward SA transmission. The researchers recommend further genetic studies to investigate the nature of the small alleles yielded in the analysis. [Extracted from the article]
