Evaluation and selection of tandem repeat loci for Streptococcus pneumoniae MLVA strain typing [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2005
Abstract Background Precise identification of bacterial pathogens at the strain level is essential for epidemiological purposes. In Streptococcus pneumoniae, the existence of 90 different serotypes makes the typing particularly difficult and requires the use of highly informative tools.

Detection and Identification of Pathogenic Leptospira spp. Serogroups in Europe between 2017 and 2020 Applying a Novel Gene‐Based Molecular Approach

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Leptospirosis is a neglected but reemerging worldwide zoonotic disease. Due to a rise in global temperature, precipitation, and urbanization, the risk of acquiring an infection with Leptospira (L.) spp. increases in Europe. One species affected by leptospirosis living close to the human is the dog.

Antibiotic Resistance and Virulence Factors in Clinical Isolates of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia from Hospitalized Patients in Tehran, Iran

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia causes challenging infections in immunocompromised patients, exhibiting increasing resistance to multiple antimicrobials and possessing various virulence genes, including emerging resistance to trimethoprim‐sulfamethoxazole. A total of 80 clinical isolates of S.

Comprehensive Analysis of Virulence Genes, Antibiotic Resistance, Biofilm Formation, and Sequence Types in Clinical Isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Background: The rise in multidrug‐resistant pathogens poses a formidable challenge in treating hospital‐acquired infections, particularly those caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae. Biofilm formation is a critical factor contributing to antibiotic resistance, enhancing bacterial adherence and persistence. K.

Outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium infection traced to imported cured sausage using MLVA-subtyping

Weekly releases (1997–2007), 2007
On 28 November 2006, a patient in Norway was diagnosed with Salmonella Typhimurium infection. He contacted the district food safety office in Trondheim as he suspected the source to be Spanish-produced cured sausages he had bought on a ferry between Kiel, Germany and Oslo, Norway in October 2006.

Persistence of microbiological hazards in food and feed production and processing environments

EFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract Listeria monocytogenes (in the meat, fish and seafood, dairy and fruit and vegetable sectors), Salmonella enterica (in the feed, meat, egg and low moisture food sectors) and Cronobacter sakazakii (in the low moisture food sector) were identified as the bacterial food safety hazards most relevant to public health that are associated with ...

Within-Flock Population Dynamics of Dichelobacter nodosus

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2017
Footrot causes 70–90% of lameness in sheep in Great Britain. With approximately 5% of 18 million adult sheep lame at any one time, it costs the UK sheep industry £24–84 million per year.

Comparison of PCR ribotyping and multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) for improved detection of Clostridium difficile

BMC Microbiology, 2011
Background Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) ribotyping is one of the globally accepted techniques for defining epidemic clones of Clostridium difficile and tracing virulence-related strains. However, the ambiguous data generated by this technique makes it

Diversification and Distribution of Ruminant Chlamydia abortus Clones Assessed by MLST and MLVA

PLOS ONE, 2015
Chlamydia abortus, an obligate intracellular bacterium, is the most common infectious cause of abortion in small ruminants worldwide and has zoonotic potential. We applied multilocus sequence typing (MLST) together with multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) to genotype 94 ruminant C.
