Multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis of mycoplasma pneumoniae clinical specimens and proposal for amendment of MLVA nomenclature. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Mycoplasma pneumoniae is one of the major respiratory bacterial pathogens that cause pneumonia in humans. Multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) is currently the most discriminative method for typing M. pneumoniae strains. To better

Within-Flock Population Dynamics of Dichelobacter nodosus
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2017 Footrot causes 70–90% of lameness in sheep in Great Britain. With approximately 5% of 18 million adult sheep lame at any one time, it costs the UK sheep industry £24–84 million per year.

Genotypic and PFGE/MLVA analyses of Vibrio cholerae O1: geographical spread and temporal changes during the 2007-2010 cholera outbreaks in Thailand. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor dominated the seventh cholera pandemic which occurred in the 1960s. For two decades, variants of V. cholerae O1 El Tor that produce classical cholera toxin have emerged and spread globally, replacing the prototypic ...

Comparison of the performances of MLVA vs. the main other typing techniques for Bartonella henselae [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2009 Bartonella henselae is a zoonotic pathogen of growing medical importance, which causes persistant bacteraemia in the feline reservoir host. Transmission to the incidental human host, which occurs essentially by cat scratch, is associated with most human cases of cat scratch disease but also with bacillary angiomatosis and peliosis, and other clinical ...

Genotyping of Brucella melitensis and Brucella abortus strains in Kazakhstan using MLVA-15
Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2018 Currently, although the prevalence of brucellosis in Kazakhstan remains high, there are limited data available on the genetic diversity of circulating Brucella strains. Here, MLVA was employed to genotype a panel of 102 Brucella isolates collected from eight Kazakh regions and neighboring countries (Russia, Kyrgyzstan) during the period 1935-2017. MLVA-

IN SILICO DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH-RESOLUTION MLVA TYPING SCHEME FOR ENTEROCOCCUS FAECIUM
PROBLEMS of Infectious and Parasitic Diseases, 2020 Emergence of enterococci as nosocomial pathogens is frequently associated with hospital outbreaks. Vancomycin resistance is especially perturbing as it limits the possible therapeutic options. Based on vast in silico analysis, we introduce a new multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) scheme for genotyping of Enterococcus faecium ...
