Phylogenetic analysis of Clostridium botulinum type A by multi-locus sequence typing.
The genus Clostridium comprises a heterogeneous group of organisms for which the phylogeny and evolutionary relationships are poorly understood. The elucidation of these evolutionary relationships necessitates the use of experimental methods that can distinguish Clostridium lineages that are time and cost effective, and can be accurately and reproducibly employed in different laboratories. Mult...
متن کاملCorrection: Four Genotyping Schemes for Phylogenetic Analysis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Comparison of Their Congruence with Multi-Locus Sequence Typing
Several molecular typing schemes have been proposed to differentiate among isolates and clonal groups, and hence establish epidemiological or phylogenetic links. It has been widely accepted that multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) is the gold standard for phylogenetic typing/long-term epidemiological surveillance, but other recently described methods may be easier to carry out, especially in set...

background and objectives: strains of shigella spp. can cause shigellosis, or bacillary dysentery.that is a public health problem worldwide. the aim of this study was to describe the population structure and genetic relatedness of multidrug resistant s. sonnei and s. flexneri isolated during a one year period from children with diarrhea in tehran, iran. materials and methods: a total of 70 shig...
متن کاملMulti-virulence-locus sequence typing of Listeria monocytogenes.
A multi-virulence-locus sequence typing (MVLST) scheme was developed for subtyping Listeria monocytogenes, and the results obtained using this scheme were compared to those of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and the published results of other typing methods, including ribotyping (RT) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). A set of 28 strains (eight different serotypes and three known ge...
متن کاملDifferentiation of Clostridium botulinum serotype A strains by multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis.
Ten variable-number tandem-repeat (VNTR) regions identified within the complete genomic sequence of Clostridium botulinum strain ATCC 3502 were used to characterize 59 C. botulinum strains of the botulism neurotoxin A1 (BoNT/A1) to BoNT/A4 (BoNT/A1-A4) subtypes to determine their ability to discriminate among the serotype A strains. Two strains representing each of the C. botulinum serotypes B ...
