Unwelcome neighbours: Tracking the transmission of Streptococcus equi in the United Kingdom horse population

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Strangles (Streptococcus equi infection) remains endemic in the UK, with ~300 laboratory diagnoses annually. Sub‐clinically infected long‐term carriers are considered a key driver of endemicity. Analysing genomes of circulating strains could provide valuable transmission insights of this pathogen.

Short read sequence typing (SRST): multi-locus sequence types from short reads

BMC Genomics, 2012
Background Multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) has become the gold standard for population analyses of bacterial pathogens. This method focuses on the sequences of a small number of loci (usually seven) to divide the population and is simple, robust and ...

Historical Drainage Evolution and Water Level Fluctuations in the African Great Lakes Shaped Phylogeny and Biogeography of Freshwater Gastropods

Journal of Biogeography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The role of historical drainage connectivity and the influence of water level fluctuations in African lakes on the evolution and distribution of macroinvertebrates remain poorly understood. This is partly because evolutionary biology research has largely focused on mobile vertebrates, such as cichlids.

Burkholderia pseudomallei in Unchlorinated Domestic Bore Water, Tropical Northern Australia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
To determine whether unchlorinated bore water in northern Australia contained Burkholderia pseudomallei organisms, we sampled 55 bores; 18 (33%) were culture positive. Multilocus sequence typing identified 15 sequence types. The B.

Trichophyton indotineae: Epidemiology, antifungal resistance and antifungal stewardship strategies

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
There is a concerning trend of widespread and severe superficial fungal infections caused by a new pathogen—Trichophyton indotineae—resistant to standard antifungal therapies. T. indotineae is now spreading globally and evolving. There is increasing urgency for healthcare providers and policy makers to initiate surveillance systems and antifungal ...

Using BOX-PCR to exclude a clonal outbreak of melioidosis

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2007
Background Although melioidosis in endemic regions is usually caused by a diverse range of Burkholderia pseudomallei strains, clonal outbreaks from contaminated potable water have been described. Furthermore B. pseudomallei is classified as a CDC Group B

spa Typing and Multilocus Sequence Typing Show Comparable Performance in a Macroepidemiologic Study of Staphylococcus aureus in the United States

Microbial Drug Resistance, 2016
A number of molecular typing methods have been developed for characterization of Staphylococcus aureus isolates. The utility of these systems depends on the nature of the investigation for which they are used.

Molecular phylogeny reveals a new species of ghost electric knifefish Porotergus Ellis 1912 (Gymnotiformes: Apteronotidae), from the Amazon basin

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract A new species of ghost electric knifefish, Porotergus sambaibensis sp. nov., is described from the Javaés River, a tributary of the Araguaia River in Brazil. The new species was assigned to the genus Porotergus as the closest relative to Porotergus gimbeli through maximum likelihood reconstruction of a concatenated multilocus dataset ...

Phylogeny and Disease Association of Shiga Toxin–producing Escherichia coli O91

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
The diversity and relatedness of 100 Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli O91 isolates from different patients were examined by multilocus sequence typing. We identified 10 specific sequence types (ST) and 4 distinct clonal groups.
