Rapid isolation of DNA from Staphylococcus aureus.

D W Dyer, J J Iandolo
PMCID: PMC239300  PMID: 6193758

Abstract

We describe a Staphylococcus aureus bulk DNA isolation procedure which uses detergent and guanidine hydrochloride to free the nucleic acid from contaminants. The procedure is rapid and yields high-molecular-weight DNA suitable for molecular biological procedures.
