Genotypic and phenotypic characteristics of Cronobacter species, with particular attention to the newly reclassified species C. helveticus, C. pulveris, and C. zurichensis [forthcoming] [PDF]
, 2014 In 2013, Enterobacter helveticus, E. pulveris and E. turicensis, were reclassified as Cronobacter helveticus, C. pulveris and C. zurichensis, respectively. Previously these species had been used as negative controls for some Cronobacter detection assays.

Multilocus Sequence Typing System for Group B Streptococcus [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2003 ABSTRACT A multilocus sequence typing (MLST) system was developed for group B streptococcus (GBS). The system was used to characterize a collection ( n = 152) of globally and ecologically diverse human strains of GBS that included representatives of capsular serotypes Ia, Ib, II, III, V, VI, and VIII ...

Identification of Melioidosis Outbreak by Multilocus Variable Number Tandem Repeat Analysis
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 Endemic melioidosis is caused by genetically diverse Burkholderia pseudomallei strains. However, clonal outbreaks (multiple cases caused by 1 strain) have occurred, such as from contaminated potable water. B.
