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

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]
Brucella species are highly monomorphic, with minimal genetic variation among species, hindering the development of reliable subtyping tools for epidemiologic and phylogenetic analyses.

Background The multilocus variable-number tandem repeat (VNTR) analysis (MLVA) technique has been developed for fine typing of many bacterial species. The genomic sequences of Neisseria meningitidis strains Z2491, MC58 and FAM18 have been available for ...

ClassTR: Classifying Within-Host Heterogeneity Based on Tandem Repeats with Application to Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infections. [PDF]
Genomic tools have revealed genetically diverse pathogens within some hosts. Within-host pathogen diversity, which we refer to as "complex infection", is increasingly recognized as a determinant of treatment outcome for infections like tuberculosis ...

Primer aislamiento de Leptospira borgpetersenii de un feto de jabalí (Sus scrofa)
La leptospirosis es una zoonosis mundial y es endémica en muchos países. Esta enfermedad se mantiene en la naturaleza por la infección renal crónica de los animales portadores; los roedores y otros mamíferos pequeños son los reservorios más importantes ...

Emergence and clonal dissemination of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis causing salmonellosis in Mauritius [PDF]
Introduction: For decades, Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis has been among the most prevalent serovars reported worldwide. However, it was rarely encountered in Mauritius until 2007; since then the number of non-typhoidal Salmonella serogroup O:9 (

Molecular epidemiology of verotoxigenic Escherichia coli O157:H7 [PDF]
Verotoxigenic E. coli (VTEC) O157:H7 is a zoonotic disease agent with asymptomatic ruminants such as cattle and sheep as reservoir hosts. Infection in humans can cause bloody diarrhoea with occasionally fatal complications such as haemolytic-uraemic ...

Using MLVA to type strains ofSalmonellaTyphimurium in New South Wales [PDF]
Phage typing has been the traditional strain typing (or .fingerprinting.) method used in Australia for surveillance of common salmonella serovars (such as Salmonella Typhimurium) and outbreak investigations. The need for more accessible, discriminatory and objective methods has been recognised but, until now, none has been widely accepted.
