Abstract
The early detection of outbreaks of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and a rapid and accurate identification of sources and routes of transmission are important objectives in hospital settings. In this study we investigated the application potential of Multiple-Locus Variable number tandem repeat Fingerprinting (MLVF) combined with microfluidic technology for a rapid discrimination of MRSA lineages in outbreak settings.
