    P Basset
    Hospital Preventive Medicine Service, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois and University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland
    J Clin Microbiol 50:1475-7. 2012
    ..Although adding a second locus seemed to increase discriminatory power, it was not sufficient to definitively infer evolutionary relationships within a single multilocus sequence type (ST-5)...
  2. ncbi Staphylococcus aureus clfB and spa alleles of the repeat regions are segregated into major phylogenetic lineages
    Patrick Basset
    Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois and University Hospital of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland
    Infect Genet Evol 9:941-7. 2009
    ..However, using both DLST- and spa-typing we were not able to disclose a clear intra-CC structure. Nevertheless, the high diversity of these loci confirmed that they are good markers for local epidemiological investigations...

    P Basset
    Service of Hospital Preventive Medicine, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois and University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland
    Clin Microbiol Infect 16:1289-96. 2010
    ..It is only the combination of data from different methods that gives the best chance of describing precisely the epidemiology and phylogeny of MRSA...

    Patrick Basset
    Service of Hospital Preventive Medicine, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois, 1011 Lausanne, Switzerland
    Antimicrob Agents Chemother 54:4589-95. 2010
    ..In conclusion, our study showed that even if the acquisition of new SCCmec elements at a local level likely occurs, it does not explain all the diversity observed in the study region...

    Hospital Preventive Medicine Service, Institute of Microbiology, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois, 1011 Lausanne, Switzerland
    J Clin Microbiol 49:722-4. 2011
    ..Further analyses showed that 28 (12.9%) of the patients harbored S. aureus isolates with a staphylococcal cassette chromosome element lacking the mecA gene and were thus incorrectly determined to be MRSA carriers...

    Evolution 66:1737-50. 2012
    ..These results add to recent reports of scale-specific sex-biased dispersal patterns, and emphasize the usefulness of the Y chromosome in conjunction with mtDNA and autosomes to infer sex specificities...
