Limitations of Ribotyping as Genotyping Method for Corynebacterium ulcerans

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
We conducted molecular typing of a Corynebacterium ulcerans isolate from a woman who died in Japan in 2016. Genomic DNA modification might have affected the isolate’s ribotyping profile.

Molecular typing of the pneumococcus and its application in epidemiology in sub-Saharan Africa

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013
Molecular typing of the pneumococcus has played a crucial role in understanding the epidemiology of the organism. However, most of what is known about molecular epidemiology of the pneumococcus pertains to the developed world.

High-throughput multilocus sequence typing: bringing molecular typing to the next level. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) is a widely used system for typing microorganisms by sequence analysis of housekeeping genes. The main advantage of MLST in comparison to other typing techniques is the unambiguity and transferability of sequence data ...

Extended Sequence Typing of Campylobacter spp., United Kingdom

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
Supplementing Campylobacter spp. multilocus sequence typing with nucleotide sequence typing of 3 antigen genes increased the discriminatory index achieved from 0.975 to 0.992 among 620 clinical isolates from Oxfordshire, United Kingdom.

A systematic review of source attribution of human campylobacteriosis using multilocus sequence typing

Euro surveillance : bulletin Europeen sur les maladies transmissibles = European communicable disease bulletin, 2019
Background Campylobacter is a leading global cause of bacterial gastroenteritis, motivating research to identify sources of human infection. Population genetic studies have been increasingly applied to this end, mainly using multilocus sequence typing ...

Molecular characterization of Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum in Switzerland and France with a new multilocus sequence typing scheme

PLoS ONE, 2018
Syphilis is an important public health problem and an increasing incidence has been noted in recent years. Characterization of strain diversity through molecular data plays a critical role in the epidemiological understanding of this re-emergence.

Consensus Multilocus Sequence Typing Scheme for Pneumocystis jirovecii

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.
