| Abstract |
Bacteria are often grouped by a variety of properties, including biochemical activity, appearance, and more recently, nucleic acid sequence differences. In the case of human pathogens, significant work goes into "typing" strains to understand relatedness. This is especially true when trying to understand the epidemiology of these organisms. In attempts to group Staphylococci, a variety of methods and nomenclatures have been employed, which can often serve as a point of confusion to those entering the field. Therefore, the intent of this chapter is to give a brief overview of some common methods and associated nomenclature used to type Staphylococci, with S. aureus as an example. |
