Title
Improved multilocus sequence typing scheme for Staphylococcus epidermidis
Abstract
We evaluated three multilocus sequence typing (MLST) schemes for Staphylococcus epidermidis and selected the seven most discriminatory loci for the formation of a new, more powerful MLST scheme. This improved scheme gave 31 sequence types (STs) and 5 clonal complexes (CCs), whereas the other schemes delineate 16 to 24 STs and 1 to 3 CCs. Copyright © 2007, American Society for Microbiology.
