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

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.

How do hospital professionals involved in a randomised controlled trial perceive the value of genotyping vs. PCR-ribotyping for control of hospital acquired C. difficile infections? [PDF]
, 2014 Background: Despite scientific advances in typing of C. difficile strains very little is known about how hospital staff use typing results during periods of increased incidence (PIIs). This qualitative study, undertaken alongside a randomised controlled

Population structure of Bartonella henselae in Algerian urban stray cats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Whole blood samples from 211 stray cats from Algiers, Algeria, were cultured to detect the presence of Bartonella species and to evaluate the genetic diversity of B. henselae strains by multiple locus VNTR analysis (MLVA).

Use of multiple-locus variable-number of tandem repeats analysis (MLVA) to investigate genetic diversity of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium isolates from human, food, and veterinary sources [PDF]
, 2018 Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serovar Typhimurium is the most common zoonotic pathogen in Bulgaria. To allow efficient outbreak investigations and surveillance in the food chain, accurate and discriminatory methods for typing are needed.

Molecular Investigation of Tularemia Outbreaks, Spain, 1997–2008 [PDF]
, 2014 Tularemia outbreaks occurred in northwestern Spain in 1997–1998 and 2007–2008 and affected >1,000 persons. We assessed isolates involved in these outbreaks by using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis with 2 restriction enzymes and multilocus variable ...

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.

Epidemiology of Brucellosis and Genetic Diversity of Brucella abortus in Kazakhstan. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Brucellosis is a major zoonotic infection in Kazakhstan. However, there is limited data on its incidence in humans and animals, and the genetic diversity of prevalent strains is virtually unstudied.
