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 ...

Phylogeography of Human and Animal Coxiella burnetii Strains: Genetic Fingerprinting of Q Fever in Belgium

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
Q fever is a zoonotic disease caused by the bacteria Coxiella burnetii. Domestic ruminants are the primary source for human infection, and the identification of likely contamination routes from the reservoir animals the critical point to implement ...

Molecular characterization of Salmonella Enteritidis : comparison of an optimized multi-locus variable-number of tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis [PDF]

, 2012
Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) is a genetically homogenous serovar, which makes optimal subtype discrimination crucial for epidemiological research. This study describes the development and evaluation of an optimized multiple-locus variable number tandem ...

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 ...

Overview of the epidemic characteristics of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection around COVID pandemic

iLABMED, Volume 1, Issue 3, Page 148-157, December 2023., 2023
Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae) is a cell wall‐less respiratory pathogen causing community‐acquired pneumonia and extrapulmonary manifestations. It is transmitted through close contact and shows periodic regional outbreaks. Mp has two major clonal lineages (P1‐1 and P1‐2) and herd immunity switches are thought to be responsible for the subtype ...

Whole Genome Sequencing for Tracing Geographical Origin of Imported Cases of Human Brucellosis in Sweden

Microorganisms, 2019
Human infections with Brucella melitensis are occasionally reported in Sweden, despite the fact that the national flocks of sheep and goats are officially free from brucellosis. The aim of our study was to analyze 103 isolates of B.
