ABSTRACT
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most prevalent nosocomial pathogens in Korea. The prevalence of MRSA is nearly 70% of clinical isolates of S. aureus, and the importance of infection control has increased. Many DNA-based molecular techniques have been introduced to type MRSA strains, but no single method of molecular techniques is universally applicable. This review summarizes the molecular techniques in epidemiological analyses of MRSA, describing some practical applicatiais of these techniques.
