• Preeminence of Staphylococcus aureus in infective endocarditis: a 1-year population-based survey. (2012, background): “Microbiologists were asked to send all strains of streptococci and staphylococci to the corresponding national reference centers, where identification was confirmed on the basis of phenotypic and molecular microbiology techniques [17–19].”
• Autoinduction and signal transduction in the regulation of staphylococcal virulence (2003, background): “Indeed, agr groupings are broadly correlated with strain genotypes as defined by multilocus sequence typing and by amplicon fragment length poly- morphisms (Jarraud et al., 2002), resulting in general congruence between phylogenetic trees and agr groups (Jarraud et al., 2002).”
