Investigators publish new data in the report 'Identification of the clonal complexes of Staphylococcus aureus strains by determination of the conservation patterns of small genomic islets.' In this recent study, researchers in Nagoya, Japan conducted a study "To investigate the clonality of Staphylococcus aureus isolates, it is important to identify their clonal complexes (CCs) with multilocus sequence typing (MLST). However, it is expensive to carry out MLST analyses for many isolates."
"The aim of this study, therefore, was to develop a cost-effective method to identify CCs by determining the conservation pattern of 'small genomic islets' (SGIs). SGIs are ...
