Modified MLVA for Genotyping Queensland Invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae.

PLoS ONE, 2015
BackgroundGlobally, over 800 000 children under five die each year from infectious diseases caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae. To understand genetic relatedness between isolates, study transmission routes, assess the impact of human interventions e.g ...

MLVA distribution characteristics of in China and the correlation analysis [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2009
Background Yersinia pestis, the aetiological agent of plague, has been well defined genotypically on local and worldwide scales. In November 2005, five cases of severe pneumonia of unknown causes, resulting in two deaths, were reported in Yulong, Yunnan ...

First Molecular Typing of Tick-Derived <i>Coxiella burnetii</i> From Wildlife in South Korea: Surveillance and Genetic Characterization. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Q fever, caused by Coxiella burnetii, is a widespread zoonosis characterized by environmental persistence and a broad host range. Wildlife and their associated ticks are increasingly recognized as crucial elements in the ecology of this pathogen; however, molecular data from these reservoirs in South Korea remain scarce.

Subtyping of STEC by MLVA in Argentina [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2012
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) causes serious human illness such as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Argentina has the world's highest rate of this syndrome, which is the leading cause of acute renal failure among children. E. coli O157:H7 is the most common cause of HUS, but a substantial and growing proportion of this illness is caused

VNTR loci as indicators of proline-dependent plague microbe strains (Yersinia pestis) in the central caucasian mountain natural plague focus

Инфекция и иммунитет, 2020
Y. pestis MLVA typing is used both to seek for similarities and differences between individual isolates upon conducting epidemiological investigations as well as for clonal clustering of intraspecies phylogenetic groups while analyzing microevolution and

Multiresistant Salmonella enterica serovar 4,[5],12:i:- in Europe: a new pandemic strain? [PDF]

, 2010
A marked increase in the prevalence of S. enterica serovar 4,[5],12:i:- with resistance to ampicillin, streptomycin, sulphonamides and tetracyclines (R-type ASSuT) has been noted in food-borne infections and in pigs/pig meat in several European countries

Evaluation of WGS-subtyping methods for epidemiological surveillance of foodborne salmonellosis [PDF]

, 2020
Background: Salmonellosis is one of the most common foodborne diseases worldwide. Although human infection by non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) enterica subspecies enterica is associated primarily with a self-limiting diarrhoeal illness, invasive bacterial ...

Antimicrobial agent susceptibilities of Legionella pneumophila MLVA-8 genotypes [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2019
AbstractLegionella pneumophila causes human lung infections resulting in severe pneumonia. High-resolution genotyping of L. pneumophila isolates can be achieved by multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA-8). Legionella infections in humans occur as a result of inhalation of bacteria-containing aerosols, thus, our aim was to study ...

A MLVA genotyping scheme for global surveillance of the citrus pathogen Xanthomonas citri pv. citri suggests a worldwide geographical expansion of a single genetic lineage. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
MultiLocus Variable number of tandem repeat Analysis (MLVA) has been extensively used to examine epidemiological and evolutionary issues on monomorphic human pathogenic bacteria, but not on bacterial plant pathogens of agricultural importance albeit such
