Multilocus sequence typing system for group B streptococcus.
A multilocus sequence typing (MLST) system was developed for group B streptococcus (GBS). The system was used to characterize a collection (n = 152) of globally and ecologically diverse human strains of GBS that included representatives of capsular serotypes Ia, Ib, II, III, V, VI, and VIII. Fragments (459 to 519 bp) of seven housekeeping genes were amplified by PCR for each strain and sequence...
متن کاملMultilocus sequence typing of invasive group B Streptococcus in central area of Taiwan.
BACKGROUND Group B Streptococcus (GBS) (Streptococcus agalactiae) is an important pathogen in neonates, pregnant women, and adults with underlying disease. METHODS Fifty clinical isolates were collected during the period 2001-2004 and analyzed by multilocus sequence typing and capsular serotyping. RESULTS The six major sequence types (STs) identified by multilocus sequence typing were ST1, ...
متن کاملMultilocus sequence typing of serotype III group B streptococcus and correlation with pathogenic potential.
Serotype III group B streptococcus (GBS) causes more invasive disease in infants than do other serotypes in North America. We used multilocus sequence typing to identify clones within 28 invasive serotype III GBS isolates identified from a population-based study and 55 serotype III GBS colonizing isolates from a cohort of women from the same population. Ten allelic sequence types (STs) were ide...
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 کاملMultilocus sequence typing system for the endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis.
The eubacterial genus Wolbachia comprises one of the most abundant groups of obligate intracellular bacteria, and it has a host range that spans the phyla Arthropoda and Nematoda. Here we developed a multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme as a universal genotyping tool for Wolbachia. Internal fragments of five ubiquitous genes (gatB, coxA, hcpA, fbpA, and ftsZ) were chosen, and primers that a...
