Multilocus sequence typing scheme for Staphylococcus aureus: revision of the gmk locus.
Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) is a sequence-based genotyping method based on polymorphisms (each variant is termed an allele) in seven housekeeping genes (loci) (arcC, aroE, glpF, gmk, pta, tpi, and yqiL) in Staphylococcus aureus providing unique allelic profiles known as sequence types (STs) (1). The data obtained by MLST are highly reproducible and are available in the S. aureus MLST data...
متن کاملImproved multilocus sequence typing scheme for Staphylococcus epidermidis.
We evaluated three multilocus sequence typing (MLST) schemes for Staphylococcus epidermidis and selected the seven most discriminatory loci for the formation of a new, more powerful MLST scheme. This improved scheme gave 31 sequence types (STs) and 5 clonal complexes (CCs), whereas the other schemes delineate 16 to 24 STs and 1 to 3 CCs.
متن کامل[Multilocus sequence typing of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus].
OBJECTIVE To analyze multilocus sequence typing (MLST) of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains in 2000 and 2005, and get a primary knowledge of MLST Characterization of MRSA. METHODS Sequence analysis was conducted on seven allelic genes of 29 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains and 2 methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) strains and the alle...
متن کاملMultilocus sequence typing of intercontinental bovine Staphylococcus aureus isolates.
A total of 258 bovine-associated Staphylococcus aureus isolates from the United States, Chile, and the United Kingdom, plus the reference isolate S. aureus Newbould 305 (NCIMB 702892), were analyzed by multilocus sequence typing (MLST). A collection of previously characterized United Kingdom isolates were also included in the analysis. The results demonstrated that MLST is suitable for the diff...
متن کاملMultilocus sequence typing of Staphylococcus aureus with DNA array technology.
A newly developed oligonucleotide array suited for multilocus sequence typing (MLST) of Staphylococcus aureus strains was analyzed with two strain collections in a two-center study. MLST allele identification for the first strain collection fully agreed with conventional strain typing. Analysis of strains from the second collection revealed that chip-defined MLST was concordant with conventiona...
