Molecular techniques for MRSA typing: current issues and perspectives.
Staphylococcus aureus has long been recognised as an important pathogen in human disease. Serious staphylococcal infections can frequently occur in inpatients and may lead to dire consequences, especially for therapy with antimicrobial agents. The increase in the frequency of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) as the causal agent of nosocomial infection and the possibility of em...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiologic typing systems of bacterial pathogens: current issues and perspectives.
The epidemiologic typing of bacterial pathogens can be applied to answer a number of different questions: in case of outbreak, what is the extent and mode of transmission of epidemic clone(s)? In case of long-term surveillance, what is the prevalence over time and the geographic spread of epidemic and endemic clones in the population? A number of molecular typing methods can be used to classify...
متن کاملCurrent Issues – Perspectives and Reviews
Darwin’s recognition that male–male competition and female choice could favor the evolution of exaggerated male traits detrimental to survival set the stage for more than a century of theoretical and empirical work on sexual selection. While this Darwinian paradigm represents one of the most profound insights in biology, its preoccupation with sexual selection as a directional evolutionary forc...
متن کاملNumerical development: current issues and future perspectives
The goal of this article is to give an overview about current issues and future perspectives in numerical development. First, we shortly discuss the evidence for an innate number sense. As one core representation of a supposed innate number sense is pre(non)verbal quantity representation, we discuss contrasting models of such a pre(non)verbal quantity representation. We then introduce calculati...
متن کاملMolecular Methods for Bacterial Strain Typing
ABSTRACT Typing of bacteria is an important part of epidemiological studies on nosocomial infections. Bacterial identification methods have dramatically improved in recent years, which is mainly due to advancements in the field of molecular biotechnology. In many cases, molecular techniques have replaced phenotypic typing methods. Currently, a wide r...
