OBJECTIVE To evaluate a novel sequence-based coa typing method in classification for nosocomial methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. METHODS D1 and D2 regions of coa gene were used to discriminate methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and compared with other classical sequence-based methods with discriminate power. RESULTS All MRSA isolates were divided into 11 types and about 20 subtypes with coa typing method here. The discriminate power of this coa typing method was better than MLST or spa method. CONCLUSIONS It was demonstrated that this coa method is a simple, rapid, and effective technique applicable for outbreak or local nosocomial MRSA investigations in the future.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D003030 Coagulase Enzymes that cause coagulation in plasma by forming a complex with human PROTHROMBIN. Coagulases are produced by certain STAPHYLOCOCCUS and YERSINIA PESTIS. Staphylococci produce two types of coagulase: Staphylocoagulase, a free coagulase that produces true clotting of plasma, and Staphylococcal clumping factor, a bound coagulase in the cell wall that induces clumping of cells in the presence of fibrinogen.
