Fluorescent Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis of Norwegian Bacillus cereus
We examined 154 Norwegian B. cereus and B. thuringiensis soil isolates (collected from five different locations), 8 B. cereus and 2 B. thuringiensis reference strains, and 2 Bacillus anthracis strains by using fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP). We employed a novel fragment identification approach based on a hierarchical agglomerative clustering routine that identifies fr...
متن کاملFluorescent amplified-fragment length polymorphism genotyping of Neisseria meningitidis identifies clones associated with invasive disease.
Fluorescent amplified-fragment length polymorphism (FAFLP), a genotyping technique with phylogenetic significance, was applied to 123 isolates of Neisseria meningitidis. Nine of these were from an outbreak in a British university; 9 were from a recent outbreak in Pontypridd, Glamorgan; 15 were from sporadic cases of meningococcal disease; 26 were from the National Collection of Type Cultures; 5...
متن کاملGenotyping Neisseria gonorrhoeae using fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis.
An evaluation of fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism (FAFLP) for typing Neisseria gonorrhoeae using 52 isolates revealed that its discriminatory power approached that of Opa-typing in identifying epidemiologically linked isolates. Automated, accurate sizing of FAFLP amplified fragments permits objective data analysis and storage, making it an attractive method for large surveilla...

متن کاملExperimental versus in silico fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis: improved typing with an extended fragment range.
Whole-genome fingerprinting fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism (FAFLP) data were compared with in silico data for the sequenced strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37Rv and CDC1551). For this G+C-rich genome, many predicted fragments were not detected experimentally. For H37Rv, only 108 (66%) of the 163 predicted EcoRI-MseI fragments between 100 and 500 bp were visualized in...
