Multilocus sequence typing of Cronobacter spp. from powdered infant formula and milk powder production factories [PDF]
, 2013 This study applied the Cronobacter spp. multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme to three strain collections, then known as Enterobacter sakazakii, which had been isolated between 1988 and 2009 from 14 countries. The results revealed the predominance (85%

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 ...
