Multilocus sequence typing and antigen gene sequencing in the investigation of a meningococcal disease outbreak.
Multilocus sequence typing and antigen gene sequencing were used to investigate an outbreak of meningococcal disease in a university in the United Kingdom. The data obtained showed that five distinct Neisseria meningitidis strains belonging to the ET-37 complex were present in the student population during the outbreak. Three of these strains were not associated with invasive disease, and two d...
متن کاملMultilocus Sequence Typing Tool for Cyclospora cayetanensis
Because the lack of typing tools for Cyclospora cayetanensis has hampered outbreak investigations, we sequenced its genome and developed a genotyping tool. We observed 2 to 10 geographically segregated sequence types at each of 5 selected loci. This new tool could be useful for case linkage and infection/contamination source tracking.
متن کاملMultilocus sequence typing system for Campylobacter jejuni.
The gram-negative bacterium Campylobacter jejuni has extensive reservoirs in livestock and the environment and is a frequent cause of gastroenteritis in humans. To date, the lack of (i) methods suitable for population genetic analysis and (ii) a universally accepted nomenclature has hindered studies of the epidemiology and population biology of this organism. Here, a multilocus sequence typing ...
متن کاملExpanded multilocus sequence typing for burkholderia species.
PCR primers targeting loci in the current Burkholderia cepacia complex multilocus sequence typing scheme were redesigned to (i) more reliably amplify these loci from B. cepacia complex species, (ii) amplify these same loci from additional Burkholderia species, and (iii) enable the use of a single primer set per locus for both amplification and DNA sequencing.
متن کاملMultilocus sequence typing scheme for Enterococcus faecium.
A multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme has been developed for Enterococcus faecium. Internal fragments from seven housekeeping genes of 123 epidemiologically unlinked isolates from humans and livestock and 16 human-derived isolates from several outbreaks in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and The Netherlands were analyzed. A total of 62 sequence types were detected in vanc...
