Genetic Comparison of Brucella canis Isolates by the MLVA Assay in South Korea

Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 2011
The multiple-locus VNTR analysis (MLVA) assay is a method frequently employed as a molecular epidemiological tool for Brucella genetic fingerprinting. The purpose of this study was to assess the genotyping of 77 B. canis isolates from 14 different dog breeding farms in Korea by the MLVA assay and to compare the epidemiological relationships between the

Molecular characterization of Coxiella burnetii isolates by infrequent restriction site-PCR and MLVA typing [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2006
AbstractBackgroundCoxiella burnetii, the causative agent of Q fever, has a wide host range. Few epidemiological tools are available, and they are often expensive or not easily standardized across laboratories. In this work,C. burnetiiisolates from livestock and ticks were typed using infrequent restriction site-PCR (IRS-PCR) and multiple loci variable ...

A critical review on bacterial black spot of mango caused by Xanthomonas citri pv. mangiferaeindicae: Current status and direction for future research

Forest Pathology, Volume 54, Issue 3, June 2024.
Abstract Bacterial black spot (BBS) of mango, caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas citri pv. mangiferaeindicae, is an emerging disease affecting mango‐producing areas in Asia, Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. The disease spreads primarily through wind‐driven rain and farm implements, and its host range is limited, affecting mango, cashew, and pepper ...

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.

Molecular detection of Class 1, 2, and 3 integrons in hypervirulent and classic Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates: A cross‐sectional study

Health Science Reports, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2024.
Abstract Background and Aims The “hypervirulent” variant of Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) is an emerging pathogen that cause life‐threatening infection. The present study was conducted to identify the prevalence of hvKp and to investigate the presence class 1, 2, and 3 integrons in these isolates.

Genetic structure and diversity of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae based on a MLVA typing scheme. [PDF]

Front Vet Sci
BackgroundSeveral epidemiological studies have been carried out using Multiple-Locus Variable-number tandem repeat Analysis (MLVA) for M. hyopneumoniae typing. However, a global perspective on the implications of the genetic diversity of this pathogen is lacking.ObjectiveThis study aimed to determine and to analyze the genetic structure of M ...

Cholera rages in Africa and the Middle East: A narrative review on challenges and solutions

Health Science Reports, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2024.
Abstract Background and Aim Cholera is a life‐threatening infectious disease that is still one of the most common acute watery diarrheal diseases in the world today. Acute diarrhea and severe dehydration brought on by cholera can cause hypovolemic shock, which can be fatal in minutes.

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 ...

The current MLVA typing scheme for Enterococcus faecium is less discriminatory than MLST and PFGE for epidemic-virulent, hospital-adapted clonal types

BMC Microbiology, 2007
Background MLVA (multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis) is a reliable typing technique introduced recently to differentiate also isolates of Enterococcus faecium.
