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 ...

MLVA and MLST typing of Brucella from Qinghai, China [PDF]
Infectious Diseases of Poverty, 2016 The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) of China is an extensive pastoral and semi-pastoral area, and because of poverty and bad hygiene conditions, Brucella is highly prevalent in this region. In order to adequately prevent this disease in the QTP region it is important to determine the identity of Brucella species that caused the infection.A total of 65 ...

MLVA-NET – a standardised web database for bacterial genotyping and surveillance [PDF]
Eurosurveillance, 2008 Strain typing is an important aid to surveillance networks and outbreak investigations of infectious diseases [1]. MLVA (Multilocus VNTR Analysis, with VNTR standing for Variable Number of Tandem Repeats) has emerged as a highly discriminatory and widely applicable genotyping method that is now being applied for strain tracking in a growing number of ...
