Abstract
Background : Staphylococcus aureus has become an emerging public health concern. Markers that differentiate tissue-specific lineages are needed to trace the sources of strains.Objectives : The aims of this study were to determine the genotypic characteristics ofResults : In total, 6 distinct RFLp banding patterns were observed, designated C1-C6.The C1 pattern predominated in skin and urine isolates. Notably, the C3, C5, and C6 patterns were present in isolates from urine, whereas the C2 and C4 genotypes were preferentially detected in skin sample isolates.Conclusions : These data demonstrate the widespread prevalence of certain genotypes and tissue-specific tendency of other genotypes, suggesting the existence of lineage- and tissue-specific genes that mediate the development of tissue-specific pathogenicities of S. aureus isolates.
