Multilocus sequence typing of Klebsiella pneumoniae nosocomial isolates.
A multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme was developed for Klebsiella pneumoniae. Sequences of seven housekeeping genes were obtained for 67 K. pneumoniae strains, including 19 ceftazidime- and ciprofloxacin-resistant isolates. Forty distinct allelic profiles were identified. MLST data were validated against ribotyping and showed high (96%) discriminatory power. The MLST approach provides una...
متن کاملDefining and Evaluating a Core Genome Multilocus Sequence Typing Scheme for Whole-Genome Sequence-Based Typing of Klebsiella pneumoniae
At present, the most used methods for Klebsiella pneumoniae subtyping are multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). However, the discriminatory power of MLST could not meet the need for distinguishing outbreak and non-outbreak isolates and the PFGE is time-consuming and labor-intensive. A core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST) scheme for whole-genom...
متن کاملMultilocus Sequence Typing of the Clinical Isolates of Salmonella Enterica Serovar Typhimurium in Tehran Hospitals
Background: Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is one of the most important serovars of Salmonella enterica and is associated with human salmonellosis worldwide. Many epidemiological studies have focused on the characteristics of Salmonella Typhimurium in many countries as well as in Asia. This study was conducted to investigate the genetic characteristics of Salmonella Typhimurium using m...
متن کاملMOLECULAR TYPING AND INVESTIGATING THE PRESENCE OF EFFLUX GENES IN URINARY ISOLATES OF KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE
Background & Aims: The efflux pumps play an important role in the development of drug resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae. The aim of this study was to investigate the antibiotic resistance, and the presence of efflux genes, as well as molecular typing in clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae. Materials & Methods: In this cross sectional descriptive study, a total of 100 K. pneumoniae iso...
متن کاملMultilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) of Enterococcus faecalis clinical isolates in Ilam, Iran
Introduction: The Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) is the one of the pathogenic bacteria that become famous and considerable in the recent years. Here we tried to do typing the E. faecalis isolates to provide advantageous information that can help us to understand epidemiological communication between the E. faecalis isolates. Materials and methods: One hundred E. faecalis were isolated fr...
