Abstract

Conventional typing techniques were found to be poor in discriminating different S. aureus strains. In this study, a rapid, technically simple RAPD assay was employed to type the S. aureus strains. DNA fragment patterns obtained using this assay gave good level of discrimation to type the S. auerus strains.
