A Genotypic Comparison of Staphylococcus lugdunensis Clinical Isolates of Diverse Geographic Origin
… geographic regions was assessed using molecular typing methods, specifically, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction (AP-PCR), inter repetitive sequence polymerase chain reaction (REP-PCR), and southern hybridization.|PFGE together with southern …

Escherichia coli Strain Diversity in Humans: Effects of Sampling Effort and Methodology
… effort and methodology while current strain typing methods are often expensive or laborious. To rectify these inconsistencies, sampling effort was investigated by comparing the diversity of 15-isolate collections to 100-isolate collections from 3 human subjects. Temporal variation in <em>E. …

Genetic relatedness of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains obtained from Kalafong Hospital in Pretoria using Spoligotyping and MIRU-VNTR typing
… for epidemiological investigation. Molecular typing of M. tuberculosis isolates has facilitated the understanding of the epidemiology of TB, its control and prevention. The insertion sequence 6110 restriction fragment length polymorphism (IS6110 RFLP) has been considered the „gold standard‟ in …

Multimodal Interaction for Text Entry and Control in Mixed Reality
… the integration of multimodal interaction methods in Mixed Reality (MR) environments for text entry control. The central hypothesis is that these multimodal approaches can provide an expressive and efficient solution for (1) text input; (2) text editing; and (3) command retrieval, …

Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus in New Zealand horses
… were shown to be genetically diverse via strain typing using either the single polymorphic gene, szp or standard multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Both typing schemes were shown to lack the discriminatory power needed to completely separate the isolates which was resolved by employing core …

An evaluation of DNA fingerprinting methods for subtyping Salmonella
The use of DNA typing and fingerprinting methods to identify and discriminate strains of bacteria, including Salmonella, has increased dramatically in recent years. Traditional typing methods, including serotyping and phage typing, have often not adequately discriminated strains, nor have they …

Implementation of molecular techniques in the diagnosis of legionnaires’ disease and in the investigation of legionella outbreaks
… contaminated fresh water sources, consequently typing of both clinical and environmental isolates is crucial to rapidly identify the possible source and prevent further cases. Legionellae are difficult to isolate by culture, moreover as respiratory samples are not available for up to 65% …

Development of An In Silico Kir Genotyping Algorithm and Its Application to Population and Cancer Immunogenetic Analyses
… oligonucleotide and sequence-specific primer PCR methods are the <em>de facto</em> standards for KIR presence/absence identification, but the current platforms are unsuitable for SNP calling, impractical for KIR typing large cohorts of DNA samples, and inapplicable for typing repositories in which …

Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of salmonella isolates from chickens and humans in South Sudan.
… characterization was done through serology, biotyping and antimicrobial susceptibility profiles while the genetic diversity was determined through molecular typing methods that included the detection of virulence genes by PCR and whole genome sequencing of targeted genes. The data was analyzed …

A molecular epidemiological analysis of meningococcal isolates within Scotland 1972-1998
… health issue in Scotland and the rest of Europe. Typing methods are used for epidemiological purposes to investigate outbreaks and the spread of meningococci and to examine the population structure of the organism in order to better understand its variation and evolution. Reference institutes have …
