Review on Molecular Typing Methods of Pathogens
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents several common molecular typing methods, Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE), Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisma (RFLP), Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD), Automatic Ribotyping, rep-PCR, Multi-Locus Sequence Typing (MLST), in which the application and progress of molecular typing of pathgens for these methods are described. These methods played an important role in pathgens source tracking, knowing the source(s) of bacteria in pharmaceutical, preventing and controlling the diarrhea and food-poisoning outbreaks, which have great value in the remediation and prevention of further bacterial contamination.

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 کاملTyping methods used in the molecular epidemiology of microbial pathogens: a how-to guide.
Microbial typing is often employed to determine the source and routes of infections, confirm or rule out outbreaks, trace cross-transmission of healthcare-associated pathogens, recognize virulent strains and evaluate the effectiveness of control measures. Conventional microbial typing methods have occasionally been useful in describing the epidemiology of infectious diseases. However, these met...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiologic typing systems of bacterial pathogens: current issues and perspectives.
The epidemiologic typing of bacterial pathogens can be applied to answer a number of different questions: in case of outbreak, what is the extent and mode of transmission of epidemic clone(s)? In case of long-term surveillance, what is the prevalence over time and the geographic spread of epidemic and endemic clones in the population? A number of molecular typing methods can be used to classify...
