103601-1
LaboratoryStaphylococcus aureus MLVA type in Isolate or Specimen by Molecular genetics method
Definition
This test identifies the MRSA molecular typing. The MLVA type identifies the type of staphylococcus aureus strain using variable-number tandem repeat (VNTR) loci. are regions of coding and non-coding nucleotide repeats that are adjacent to each other and that vary in number This different microorganisms. Analysis of VNTR is the basis for MLVA (multilocus VNTR analysis)
