Molecular Methods for Bacterial Strain Typing
ABSTRACT Typing of bacteria is an important part of epidemiological studies on nosocomial infections. Bacterial identification methods have dramatically improved in recent years, which is mainly due to advancements in the field of molecular biotechnology. In many cases, molecular techniques have replaced phenotypic typing methods. Currently, a wide r...
متن کاملAspergillus strain typing in the genomics era
Multiple reasons may justify a need for strain typing purposes, but the most common reason is to delineate the epidemiological relationships between isolates. The availability of whole genome sequences has greatly influenced our ability to develop highly targeted and efficient strain typing methods fur these purposes. Some strain typing methods may serve dual goals: not only can they be used to...
متن کاملSequence-Based Typing of Leptospira: Epidemiology in the Genomic Era
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease of global distribution, maintained in nature by chronic renal infection of carrier animals. Infected animals excrete the organisms in their urine and contaminate the environment. Human infection is acquired directly via exposure to the organism in tissues or body fluids, but most often occurs indirectly via exposure to the organisms in the environment. Thus h...

متن کاملThe bacterial species definition in the genomic era.
The bacterial species definition, despite its eminent practical significance for identification, diagnosis, quarantine and diversity surveys, remains a very difficult issue to advance. Genomics now offers novel insights into intra-species diversity and the potential for emergence of a more soundly based system. Although we share the excitement, we argue that it is premature for a universal chan...
