Diversity of Acinetobacter baumannii in Four French Military Hospitals, as Assessed by Multiple Locus Variable Number of Tandem Repeats Analysis
BACKGROUND Infections by A. calcoaceticus-A. baumannii (ACB) complex isolates represent a serious threat for wounded and burn patients. Three international multidrug-resistant (MDR) clones (EU clone I-III) are responsible for a large proportion of nosocomial infections with A. baumannii but other emerging strains with high epidemic potential also occur. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We autom...
متن کاملComparison of multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis typing of Acinetobacter baumannii in China.
A panel of seven variable-number tandem-repeat (VNTR) markers was selected for Acinetobacter baumannii typing analysis (MLVA-7). Compared with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), MLVA-7 provided greater discrimination. We modified the criteria for MLVA complex assignments proposed previously, and a remarkable congruence between MLVA-7- and PFGE-based strain clustering was observed.

متن کاملEvaluation of Multiple-Locus Variable Number of Tandem Repeats Analysis for Typing Livestock-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
BACKGROUND The increasing occurrence of livestock-associated (LA) methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) associated with the clonal complex (CC) 398 within the past years shows the importance of standardized and comparable typing methods for the purposes of molecular surveillance and outbreak detection. Multiple-locus variable number of tandem repeats analysis (MLVA) has recently be...
متن کاملDiversity of Variable Number Tandem Repeat Loci in Shigella Species Isolated From Pediatric Patients
Multilocus variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) analysis (MLVA) is a new typing method with several advantages compared to other methods. Dissemination of Shigella is highly significant in developing countries. Whilst Shigella is becoming increasingly important as an etiologic agent of pediatric shigellosis in Iran, little is known about the genetic diversity of the local strains. Therefore, th...
