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

Multilocus Sequence Typing [PDF]

, 2009
Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) was first proposed in 1998 as a typing approach that enables the unambiguous characterization of bacterial isolates in a standardized, reproducible, and portable manner using the human pathogen Neisseria meningitidis as the exemplar organism.

Multilocus sequence typing of IncN plasmids [PDF]

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2011
Incompatibility group N (IncN) plasmids have been associated with the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance and are a major vehicle for the spread of bla(VIM-1) in humans and bla(CTX-M-1) in animals. A plasmid multilocus sequence typing (pMLST) scheme was developed for rapid categorization of IncN plasmids.Twelve fully sequenced IncN plasmids ...

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 ...

FastMLST: A Multi-core Tool for Multilocus Sequence Typing of Draft Genome Assemblies

bioRxiv, 2020
Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) is a precise microbial typing approach at the intra-species level for epidemiologic and evolutionary purposes. It operates by assigning a sequence type (ST) identifier to each specimen, based on a combination of alleles ...

Novel multilocus sequence typing scheme reveals high genetic diversity of human pathogenic members of the Fusarium incarnatum-F. equiseti and F. chlamydosporum species complexes within the United States [PDF]

, 2009
Species limits within the clinically important Fusarium incarnatum-F. equiseti and F. chlamydosporum species complexes (FIESC and FCSC, respectively) were investigated using multilocus DNA sequence data.

Lack of continuity between Cronobacter biotypes and species as determined using multilocus sequence typing [PDF]

, 2013
The accuracy of the Cronobacter biotyping scheme was compared with the 7-loci multilocus sequence typing scheme. Biotyping did not reliably assign species level identification, as only half (17/31) of the biotype variants were unique to any of the seven ...

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.
