ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method of clinically differentiating the presence of Staphylococcus aureus in isolated samples, comprising the step of: analyzing the hybridization profile observed in Southern blots utilizing DNA probes for genes selected from the group consisting of the cna gene, the fnbA gene, the fnbB gene, the hlb gene, the cna-up gene, the pcp gene, the pcp12 gene and the pcp34 gene. Also provided is a kit for clinically differentiating the presence of Staphylococcus aureus in isolated samples, comprising: (1) restriction enzymes to digest genomic DNA contained in said samples; and (2) DNA probes for genes selected from the group consisting of the cna gene, the fnbA gene, the fnbB gene, the hlb gene, the cna-up gene, the pcp gene, the pcp12 gene and the pcp34 gene.
