Oligonucleotide primers specific for the Staphylococcus
aureus gap gene were previously designed to identify 12 Staphylococcus spp. by PCR. In the present study,
AluI digestion of PCR-generated products rendered
distinctive restriction fragment length polymorphism patterns that
allowed 24 Staphylococcus spp. to be identified with high specificity.
