Probe hybridization array typing: a binary typing method for Escherichia coli.
The ability to distinguish between Escherichia coli strains is critical for outbreak investigations. Binary typing, based on the presence or absence of genetic material, provides a high-throughput alternative to gel- and PCR-based typing techniques that generate complex banding patterns and lack uniform interpretation criteria. We developed, validated, and determined the discriminatory power of...
متن کاملMultilocus sequence typing of pathogenic Candida species.
Typing strains within a microbial species on the basis of DNA sequences at multiple loci has greatly advanced study of the epidemiology and evolutionary phylogenetics of many bacterial (9, 40, 60, 72) and fungal (26, 68) pathogens. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) schemes have now been published for five of the opportunistically pathogenic Candida species: C. albicans (6, 7), C. dubliniensis (...
متن کاملComparison of SpectraCell RA typing and multilocus sequence typing for extended-spectrum-β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli.
Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) is one of the most reliable methods for typing of Escherichia coli, including extended-spectrum-β-lactamase-producing E. coli (ESBL-EC). We investigated the performance of a new typing method, SpectraCell RA (River Diagnostics, Madison, WI), in comparison on MLST on a well-defined collection of ESBL-EC isolates obtained from chicken meat and humans. Ninety-two ...
متن کاملMultilocus sequence typing of the pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus.
A multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme was devised for Aspergillus fumigatus. The system involved sequencing seven gene fragments and was applied to a panel of 100 isolates of A. fumigatus from diverse sources. Thirty different sequence types were found among the 100 isolates, and 93% of the isolates differed from the other isolates by only one allele sequence, forming a single clonal clust...
متن کاملMultilocus sequence typing of Staphylococcus aureus with DNA array technology.
A newly developed oligonucleotide array suited for multilocus sequence typing (MLST) of Staphylococcus aureus strains was analyzed with two strain collections in a two-center study. MLST allele identification for the first strain collection fully agreed with conventional strain typing. Analysis of strains from the second collection revealed that chip-defined MLST was concordant with conventiona...
