Abstract:
We performed a gene expression study using RT-qPCR in Staphylococcus aureus. The influence of normalization method was investigated. We confirmed that a recent standard, using more reference genes, was the best normalization strategy. The application of the most commonly used reference genes in 2011 (gyrB and 16S rRNA gene) failed.
