Failure of bacteriophage typing to detect an inter-hospital outbreak of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Zagreb subsequently identified by random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE)

To establish the extent of inter-hospital spread of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Zagreb and to determine the most suitable method for typing local strains. We analyzed a collection of 33 MRSA isolates from three Zagreb hospitals together with five unrelated British MRSA isol...
