Molecular typing of Salmonella enterica serovar Sofia in Australia by pulsed‐field gel electrophoresis and repetitive element PCR typing

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium typing by prophage-specific PCR.

Recent data from microarray analysis have shown that integrated prophages are the most frequent sources of genomic variation between different strains of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium). This led us to hypothesize that PCR detection of the integrated prophages might be an efficient typing tool that could be used as an alternative to PFGE. In this study, we optimized fou...

Molecular typing and evolution of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium

ultilocus Sequence Typing Lacks the Discriminatory Ability of Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis for Typing Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium

Multilocus sequence typing lacks the discriminatory ability of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis for typing Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium.

Nontyphoidal salmonellae are among the leading causes of food-borne disease in the United States. Because of the importance of Salmonella enterica in food-borne disease, numerous typing methodologies have been developed. Among the several molecular typing methods, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) is currently considered the "gold standard" technique in typing Salmonella. The aim of this ...

Multilocus 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...
