Screening of Gene in Strains Isolated in Transylvania Region of Romania.

In the last few decades, methicillin-resistant (MRSA) strains have become a serious health care problem. However, in the European Union/European Economic Area countries the prevalence of the invasive MRSA isolates has decreased in recent years; in Romania, the considerably high prevalence of these strains is still unchanged. In this study, 396 staphylococcal strains were screened using molecular biology techniques for the presence of the , and genes and for the detection of the possible mutations accumulated in the gene.
