Plasmid profiling of epidemic staphylococci from around 1960: a comparison of epidemiological techniques
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 October 2009
Summary
Plasmid profiles have been established for 68 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus from 13 episodes of epidemic spread in hospital wards between 1958 and 1962. Despite the original lack of care in preservation of strains the profiles give, in general, the same epidemiological patterns as were established originally on the basis of phage type, antibiotic sensitivity, ward and date of isolation.
