Multilocus sequence typing for global surveillance of meningococcal disease [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2007
The global surveillance of bacterial pathogens is particularly important for bacteria with diverse and dynamic populations that cause periodic epidemics or pandemics. The isolate characterization methods employed for surveillance should: (1) generate unambiguous data; (2) be readily implemented in a variety of scenarios and be reproducible among ...

Candidate targets for Multilocus Sequence Typing of Trypanosoma cruzi: validation using parasite stocks from the Chaco Region and a set of reference strains.

, 2012
A Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) scheme was designed and applied to a set of 20 Trypanosoma cruzi stocks belonging to three main discrete typing units (T. cruzi I, V and VI) from a geographically restricted Chagas disease endemic area in Argentina, 12

Using sequence data to identify alternative routes and risk of infection: a case-study of campylobacter in Scotland [PDF]

, 2012
<b>Background:</b> Genetic typing data are a potentially powerful resource for determining how infection is acquired. In this paper MLST typing was used to distinguish the routes and risks of infection of humans with Campylobacter jejuni from

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 ...

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 ...

Diversity of the parB and repA genes of the Burkholderia cepacia complex and their utility for rapid identification of Burkholderia cenocepacia [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Burkholderia cenocepacia is the most prominent species of the B. cepacia complex (Bcc), a group of nine closely related and difficult to identify bacteria that cause serious infections in patients with cystic fibrosis.

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

Evaluation of spa-typing of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus using high-resolution melting analysis [PDF]

, 2015
OBJECTIVE: spa-typing of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been widely used in clinical diagnostics and epidemiological studies. We aimed to evaluate high-resolution melting (HRM) as a rapid and cost effective method, to replace DNA ...

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.

Emergence of respiratory Streptococcus agalactiae isolates in cystic fibrosis patients [PDF]

, 2009
Streptococcus agalactiae is a well-known pathogen for neonates and immunocompromized adults. Beyond the neonatal period, S. agalactiae is rarely found in the respiratory tract. During 2002–2008 we noticed S. agalactiae in respiratory secretions of 30/185
