Abstract:
Precise, fast, and cheap identification of pathogenic bacteria is a key factor of microbial diagnostics. Application of analytical techniques can provide new possibilities in this regard. The bacterial pathogen Staphylococcus aureus is responsible for a number of serious human infections which are hard for eradication since the number of multidrug resistant isolates is increasing. In the present chapter, we describe novel methods based on capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) and (as confirmation of these results) molecular analysis of a part of the coag gene for identification and differentiation of S. aureus strains.
