MLVA GENOTYPING OF B. ANTHRACIS IN THE FORMATION OF A COLLECTION OF REPRESENTATIVE STRAINS

Eurasian Journal of Applied Biotechnology, 2021
Anthrax is an infectious disease that affects many species of mammals and humans. Bacteriological isolation of the pathogen and its identification by phenotypic and PCR methods remains the gold standard. However, these methods do not allow determining the cause of the outbreak, namely, their origin from one or more sources.

A Risk‐Based Framework for Ranking Microbiological Hazards and Identifying Mitigation Strategies for Dried Fruits, Vegetables, Herbs, and Spices Used in Ready‐to‐Eat Foods

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Low water activity ingredients, including dried fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices, are widely used in ready‐to‐eat (RTE) and non‐RTE foods. Although low water activity limits microbial growth, bacterial pathogens can survive for extended periods in these products.

Microbial Forensics: Comparison of MLVA Results According to NGS Methods, and Forensic DNA Analysis Using MLVA

Journal of the Korea Institute of Military Science and Technology
Microbial forensics is a scientific discipline for analyzing evidence related to biological crimes by identifying the origin of microorganisms. Multiple locus variable number tandem repeat analysis(MLVA) is one of the microbiological analysis methods used to specify subtypes within a species based on the number of tandem repeat in the genome, and ...

Species identification and molecular typing of human Brucella isolates from Kuwait.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease of major concern in Kuwait and the Middle East. Human brucellosis can be caused by several Brucella species with varying degree of pathogenesis, and relapses are common after apparently successful therapy.

Staphylococcus aureus strains associated with food poisoning outbreaks in France: Comparison of different molecular typing methods, including MLVA

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Staphylococcal food poisoning outbreaks (SFPOs) are frequently reported in France. However, most of them remain unconfirmed, highlighting a need for a better characterization of isolated strains.

Effect of seed circulation systems on the spread and diversity of Xanthomonas phaseoli pv. manihotis infecting cassava crops of the Colombian Caribbean

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 353-364, January 2026.
Cassava is a lifeline for millions of people across the tropics, but its productivity is at risk from a disease called Cassava Bacterial Blight (CBB). In this study, we explore how the everyday practices of farmers exchanging cassava cuttings—a long‐standing tradition—can shape how the disease spreads and evolves in the Colombian Caribbean.

Variation in Mycobacterium bovis genetic richness suggests that inwards cattle movements are a more important source of infection in beef herds than in dairy herds

BMC Microbiology, 2019
Background We used genetic Multi-Locus VNTR Analysis (MLVA) data gathered from surveillance efforts to better understand the ongoing bovine tuberculosis (bTB) epidemic in Northern Irish cattle herds.
