PCR mapping of integrons reveals several novel combinations of resistance genes.
TL;DR: PCR mapping of integrons can be a useful epidemiological tool to study the evolution of multiresistance plasmids and transposons and dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes.

New Real-Time PCR Assay for Rapid Detection of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Directly from Specimens Containing a Mixture of Staphylococci
Ann Huletsky,Richard Giroux,V. Rossbach,Martin Gagnon,M. Vaillancourt,M. Bernier,F. Gagnon,K. Truchon,Martine Bastien,F. J. Picard,A. van Belkum,Marc Ouellette,Paul H. Roy,Michel G. Bergeron +13 more
TL;DR: A real-time multiplex PCR assay which allows the detection of MRSA directly from clinical specimens containing a mixture of staphylococci in <1 h and was not inhibited in the presence of high copy numbers of MSSA, MRCoNS, or MSCoNS.

Correlation between the resistance genotype determined by multiplex PCR assays and the antibiotic susceptibility patterns of Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis.
Francis Martineau,François J. Picard,Nicolas Lansac,Christian Menard,Paul H. Roy,Marc Ouellette,Michel G. Bergeron +6 more
TL;DR: A nearly perfect correlation between genotypic and phenotypic analysis for most of these 394 strains found the usefulness of DNA-based assays for the detection of antibiotic resistance genes associated with staphylococcal infections.

Development of a PCR Assay for Rapid Detection of Enterococci
Danbing Ke,François J. Picard,Francis Martineau,Christian Menard,Paul H. Roy,Marc Ouellette,Michel G. Bergeron +6 more
TL;DR: A PCR-based assay which allows the detection of enterococci at the genus level by targeting the tuf gene, which encodes elongation factor EF-Tu, and has potential for use in clinical microbiology laboratories.

Development of a PCR assay for identification of staphylococci at genus and species levels.
Francis Martineau,François J. Picard,Danbing Ke,Sonia Paradis,Paul H. Roy,Marc Ouellette,Michel G. Bergeron +6 more
TL;DR: A PCR-based assay which allows the detection of staphylococci at the genus level by targeting thetuf gene, which encodes the elongation factor Tu, demonstrated sufficient interspecies polymorphism to generate genus- and species-specific capture probes.
