Coagulase gene (coa) short sequence repeat region
sequencing was used to measure relatedness among a collection of
temporally and geographically diverse methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus isolates. The results show that
coa polymorphism is free of strong selective pressure and
has a low index of variation that may be useful for long-term
epidemiological investigations. coa typing is a useful
addition to spa typing for analysis of S. aureus, including methicillin-resistant strains.
