High-throughput multilocus sequence typing: bringing molecular typing to the next level. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) is a widely used system for typing microorganisms by sequence analysis of housekeeping genes. The main advantage of MLST in comparison to other typing techniques is the unambiguity and transferability of sequence data ...

Spatiotemporal Analysis of Invasive Meningococcal Disease, Germany

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
Meningococci can cause clusters of disease. Specimens from 1,616 patients in Germany obtained over 42 months were typed by serogrouping and sequence typing of PorA and FetA and yielded a highly diverse dataset (Simpson's index 0.963).

Molecular analysis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from cystic fibrosis patients

Scientific Reports, 2021
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a severe bacterial pathogen. Due to the genetic flexibility among strains, chronic airways infection can lead to mortality among cystic fibrosis (CF) patients.
