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

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.

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.

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

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.

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 ...
