RESUMO
In this study, we associated the restriction modification (RM) tests to the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection of molecular markers (SCCmec III, seh, agr II-SCCmec IV, and lukSF) for revealing the main methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clones circulating in Brazil. This simple and rapid approach allowed a precise classification of the MRSA analyzed when compared with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) data.
