Inaccurate Multilocus Sequence Typing of Acinetobacter baumannii [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
Multilocus sequence typing has been useful for genotyping pathogens in surveillance and epidemiologic studies. However, it cannot reflect the true relationships of isolates for species with very dynamic genomes.

Multilocus Sequence Typing of Total-Genome-Sequenced Bacteria [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2012
ABSTRACT Accurate strain identification is essential for anyone working with bacteria. For many species, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) is considered the “gold standard” of typing, but it is traditionally performed in an expensive and time-consuming manner.

Multilocus Sequence Typing Tool for Cyclospora cayetanensis [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016
Because the lack of typing tools for Cyclospora cayetanensis has hampered outbreak investigations, we sequenced its genome and developed a genotyping tool. We observed 2 to 10 geographically segregated sequence types at each of 5 selected loci.

A multilocus sequence typing scheme for Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MAB-multilocus sequence typing) using whole-genome sequencing data

International Journal of Mycobacteriology, 2019
Background:Mycobacterium abscessus is a rapid growing nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) and a clinically significant pathogen capable of causing variable infections in humans that are difficult to treat and may require months of therapy/surgical ...

Consensus Multilocus Sequence Typing Scheme for Pneumocystis jirovecii [PDF]

Journal of Fungi, 2020
Pneumocystis jirovecii is an opportunistic human pathogenic fungus causing severe pneumonia mainly in immunocompromised hosts. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) remains the gold standard for genotyping of this unculturable fungus.

Multilocus Sequence Typing of Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Japan, 2002–2016

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
In Japan, Mycoplasma pneumoniae resistance to macrolides is high. To compare sequence types (STs) of susceptible and resistant isolates, we performed multilocus sequence typing for 417 isolates obtained in Japan during 2002–2016.

Multilocus Sequence Typing of Klebsiella pneumoniae Nosocomial Isolates [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2005
ABSTRACT A multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme was developed for Klebsiella pneumoniae . Sequences of seven housekeeping genes were obtained for 67 K. pneumoniae strains, including 19 ceftazidime- and ciprofloxacin-resistant isolates.

Optimized multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme for Trypanosoma cruzi. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
Trypanosoma cruzi, the aetiological agent of Chagas disease possess extensive genetic diversity. This has led to the development of a plethora of molecular typing methods for the identification of both the known major genetic lineages and for more fine ...

refMLST: reference-based multilocus sequence typing enables universal bacterial typing

BMC Bioinformatics
Background Commonly used approaches for genomic investigation of bacterial outbreaks, including SNP and gene-by-gene approaches, are limited by the requirement for background genomes and curated allele schemes, respectively.
