Multiple large clusters of tuberculosis in London: a cross-sectional analysis of molecular and spatial data [PDF]

, 2017
Large outbreaks of tuberculosis (TB) represent a particular threat to disease control because they reflect multiple instances of active transmission. The extent to which long chains of transmission contribute to high TB incidence in London is unknown. We

Multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis for molecular typing of Aspergillus fumigatus

BMC Microbiology, 2010
Background Multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat (VNTR) analysis (MLVA) is a prominent subtyping method to resolve closely related microbial isolates to provide information for establishing genetic patterns among isolates and to investigate ...
