Evaluation and selection of tandem repeat loci for a Brucella MLVA typing assay [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2006
Abstract Background The classification of Brucella into species and biovars relies on phenotypic characteristics and sometimes raises difficulties in the interpretation of the results due to an absence of standardization of the typing reagents. In addition, the resolution of this biotyping is moderate and requires the

Multi locus variable-number tandem repeat (MLVA) typing tools improved the surveillance of Salmonella enteritidis: a 6 years retrospective study.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Surveillance of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis is generally considered to benefit from molecular techniques like multiple-locus variable-number of tandem repeats analysis (MLVA), which allow early detection and confinement of ...

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 ...

Proof-of-concept study for successful inter-laboratory comparison of MLVA results [PDF]

Eurosurveillance, 2013
Multiple-locus variable-number of tandem repeats analysis (MLVA) is widely used for typing of pathogens. Methods such as MLVA based on determining DNA fragment size by the use of capillary electrophoresis have an inherent problem as a considerable offset between measured and real (sequenced) lengths is commonly observed.

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 ...

Evaluation of the genetic relatedness of Bacteroides fragilis isolates by TRs analysis [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2020
Objective(s): Human gastrointestinal tract harbors a variety of bacteria with vital roles in human health. Bacteroides fragilis is considered one of the dominant constituents of gut microflora which can act as an opportunistic pathogen leading to various

Comparing Multiple Locus Variable-Number Tandem Repeat Analyses with Whole-Genome Sequencing as Typing Method for Salmonella Enteritidis Surveillance in The Netherlands, January 2019 to March 2020

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
In the Netherlands, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was implemented as routine typing tool for Salmonella Enteritidis isolates in 2019. Multiple locus variable-number tandem repeat analyses (MLVA) was performed in parallel.

High throughput MLVA-16 typing for Brucella based on the microfluidics technology [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2011
Abstract Background Brucellosis, a zoonosis caused by the genus Brucella, has been eradicated in Northern Europe, Australia, the USA and Canada, but remains endemic in most areas of the world. The strain and biovar typing of Brucella field samples isolated in outbreaks is useful for tracing back source of infection ...
