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.

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 ...

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.

MLVA genotyping of Chinese human Brucella melitensisbiovar 1, 2 and 3 isolates [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2011
Abstract Background Since 1950, Brucella melitensis has been the predominant strain associated with human brucellosis in China. In this study we investigated the genotypic characteristics of B. melitensis isolates from China using a multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) and evaluated the utility
