title: [Molecular typing of staphylococcus aureus with randomly amplified polymorphic DNA].
abstract: The randomly amplified polymorphic DNA(RAPD) was used to type the 26 clinically isolated strains of staphylococcus aureus. The results were that all three primers of this method, ERIC-2, Ap1, and Ap7 on molecular typing of staphylococcus aureus and identified 9, 6, and 10 genotypes, respectively; the primer Ap7 produced better results than the other primers. The present study suggests that RAPD is a simple and rapid method and has a practical value in the molecular typing of staphylococcus aureus.
