National Veterinary and Food Research Institute, University of Helsinki, Finland
Acta Vet Scand 39:119-26. 1998..Multiresistance also increased, but it was proportional to the overall increase in resistance. All the predominant mastitis streptococci were susceptible to beta-lactams tested...
- Persistence in bovine mastitis of Staphylococcus aureus clones as assessed by random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis, ribotyping and biotypingV Myllys
National Veterinary and Food Research Institute, Helsinki, Finland
Vet Microbiol 57:245-51. 1997..The molecular methods differentiated the 40 isolates into 6 distinct genotypes. Biotyping produced partially identical results to RAPD and ribotyping. A commercial diagnostic test system identified only 3 S. aureus biotypes...
