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.

First multi-locus sequence typing scheme for Arcobacter spp. [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2009
Background Arcobacter spp. are a common contaminant of food and water, and some species, primarily A. butzleri and A. cryaerophilus, have been isolated increasingly from human diarrheal stool samples.

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

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 ...

Advances in Traceability Typing and Identification of Foodborne Pathogens

Shipin gongye ke-ji, 2022
Foodborne pathogens are the main factors affecting food quality and safety. Timely and accurate strain typing data enable rapid detection of outbreak clusters, informing ongoing infection control and public health responses, which are important for ...

Population structure analysis and laboratory monitoring of Shigella by core-genome multilocus sequence typing

Nature Communications, 2022
Lab-based surveillance of Shigella has traditionally been based on serotyping but increasing availability of whole genome sequencing could enable higher resolution typing.

Clonal analysis of meningococci during a 26 year period prior to the introduction of meningococcal serogroup C vaccines [PDF]

, 2015
Meningococcal disease remains a public health burden in the UK and elsewhere. Invasive Neisseria meningitidis, isolated in Scotland between 1972 and 1998, were characterised retrospectively to examine the serogroup and clonal structure of the circulating

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

Evaluation of WGS-subtyping methods for epidemiological surveillance of foodborne salmonellosis [PDF]

, 2020
Background: Salmonellosis is one of the most common foodborne diseases worldwide. Although human infection by non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) enterica subspecies enterica is associated primarily with a self-limiting diarrhoeal illness, invasive bacterial ...
