Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus: Molecular Characterization, Evolution, and Epidemiology (2018, methodology): “(301) and Koreen and coworkers (298), called Ridom and eGenomics, respectively, are widely used for comparison purposes and allow the interchange of spa types between the two systems.”
The molecular evolution of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. (2007, background): “[48], respectively, are used worldwide.”
The evolution of Staphylococcus aureus. (2008, neutral): “The two different nomenclature systems used for spa typing, one published by Koreen et al. (2004) and one by Harmsen et al. (2003), makes it difficult to compare published spa typing data.”
A Field Guide to Pandemic, Epidemic and Sporadic Clones of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (2011, methodology): “The spa typing procedures were performed according to previously published protocols [243] using the nomenclature as described on the Ridom website (http://spa.”
Guidelines for the validation and application of typing methods for use in bacterial epidemiology. (2007, methodology): “The development of dedicated software and the possibility of determining sequences rapidly have now led to an automated system, which is 100% reproducible among different centres [242–244].”
