Health Science Reports, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2024.Abstract Background and Aims The “hypervirulent” variant of Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) is an emerging pathogen that cause life‐threatening infection. The present study was conducted to identify the prevalence of hvKp and to investigate the presence class 1, 2, and 3 integrons in these isolates.

Comparison of two multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis methods for molecular strain typing of human Brucella melitensis isolates from the Middle East [PDF]
, 2009 Brucella species are highly monomorphic, with minimal genetic variation among species, hindering the development of reliable subtyping tools for epidemiologic and phylogenetic analyses.

A simple approach to obtain comparable Shigella sonnei MLVA results across laboratories
International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2013 Multilocus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) is a promising subtyping tool to complement pulsed-field gel electrophoresis for discriminating closely related strains of some monomorphic organisms, including Shigella sonnei, which is one of the major foodborne pathogens.

Rapid Multiple-Locus Variant-Repeat Assay (MLVA) for Genotyping of Streptococcus agalactiae [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2010 ABSTRACT Several methods have been used for typing of Streptococcus agalactiae (group B streptococci [GBS]). Methods currently in use may provide inadequate resolution (e.g., typing of capsular polysaccharides and surface protein) or are labor-intensive and expensive (e.g., multilocus sequence typing [MLST]

Cholera rages in Africa and the Middle East: A narrative review on challenges and solutions
Health Science Reports, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2024.Abstract Background and Aim Cholera is a life‐threatening infectious disease that is still one of the most common acute watery diarrheal diseases in the world today. Acute diarrhea and severe dehydration brought on by cholera can cause hypovolemic shock, which can be fatal in minutes.
