Evaluation of WGS-subtyping methods for epidemiological surveillance of foodborne salmonellosis [PDF]
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 ...

Phage typing of Staphylococcus saprophyticus [PDF]
SUMMARYThis study included 502 staphylococcus strains;Staphylococcus saprophyticus(297 strains)S. cohnii(47),S. xylosus(10),S. epidermidis(67) andS. aureus(81). Mitomycin C induction was performed on 100 isolates ofS. saprophyticusand all induced strains were reacted with each other. Twenty-six strains proved to be lysogenic. Phages were propagated and

Phage typing of Staphylococcus epidermidis [PDF]
Thirteen phages were isolated from lysogenic cultures of Staphylococcus epidermidis from a clinical laboratory and used to type 223 clinical isolates of this organism. The 18 phages isolated in The Netherlands were used to type these same cultures. No correlation was observed between phage type, biotype, or clinical source of isolation.

Molecular characterization of Salmonella Enteritidis : comparison of an optimized multi-locus variable-number of tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis [PDF]
Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) is a genetically homogenous serovar, which makes optimal subtype discrimination crucial for epidemiological research. This study describes the development and evaluation of an optimized multiple-locus variable number tandem ...

Tandem Repeat Analysis for Surveillance of Human Salmonella Typhimurium Infections
In Denmark, as part of the national laboratory-based surveillance system of human enteric infections, all Salmonella Typhimurium isolates are currently subtyped by using phage typing, antimicrobial resistance profiles, and pulsed-field gel ...

Distribution of Gifsy-3 and of variants of ST64B and Gifsy-1 prophages amongst Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium isolates: evidence that combinations of prophages promote clonality. [PDF]
Salmonella isolates harbour a range of resident prophages which can influence their virulence and ability to compete and survive in their environment. Phage gene profiling of a range of phage types of Salmonella enterica subsp.
