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 ...

refMLST: reference-based multilocus sequence typing enables universal bacterial typing [PDF]

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.

Development of a Providencia stuartii multilocus sequence typing scheme [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionThe Providencia genus is assuming greater clinical relevance among infections caused by Enterobacterales also because of its intrinsic and acquired resistance to last-resort antibiotics. However, despite having been known and studied for over

Multilocus sequence typing of the invasive pest Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) and associated endosymbiont reveals unexplored diversity. [PDF]

Insect Sci
A multilocus sequence typing approach is proposed to explore Halymorpha halys genetic diversity, taking into consideration both insect nuclear markers and markers from the gut symbiont “Candidatus Pantoa carbekii.” Increased information was revealed regarding the number of distinct holobiont haplotypes in native and invasive populations of the pest ...

Phylogeny of Flavobacteria Group Isolated from Freshwater Using Multilocus Sequencing Analysis [PDF]

Genomics & Informatics, 2013
Sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene has been widely used for the classification of microorganisms. However, we have been unable to clearly identify five Flavobacterium species isolated from a freshwater by using the gene as a single marker, because ...

Rapid multi-locus sequence typing using microfluidic biochips. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Multiple locus sequence typing (MLST) has become a central genotyping strategy for analysis of bacterial populations. The scheme involves de novo sequencing of 6-8 housekeeping loci to assign unique sequence types. In this work we adapted MLST to a rapid
