Typing of strains of Staphylococcus aureus by Western Blot analysis of culture supernates.
Extracellular proteins produced by Staphylococcus aureus strains were examined by Western Blot analysis with blood donor plasma as a source of antibodies. Comparison of epidemiologically related strains showed strong concordance between plot pattern and phage type.
