Unraveling the genetic determinants of virulence in Cryptococcus neoformans
… (STs), based on an accepted multi-locus sequence typing scheme. In the last decade, several studies have linked ST to patient outcome, with some STs found to be more virulent than others. When genetically matched mice were infected with patient isolates, mortality was significantly associated with …

Techniques for the identification and differentiation of Cronobactor species
… DNA sequence-based method of multilocus sequence typing (MLST) was used to identify and characterize a collection of Cronobacter strains and these results were used in a variety of applications. These sequences were used to identify a novel species, characterize outbreak strains, and resolve …

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% …

Antigenic Characterization of <I>Haemophilus somnus</I> Lipooligosaccharide
Lipooligosaccharide (LOS) is the major outer membrane component of many Gram-negative bacteria inhabiting the mucosal membranes, including pathogenic species of <I>Haemophilus</I> and <I>Neisseria</I>. LOS phase variation is one mechanism by which some of these bacteria avoid the host immune …

Identification of the virulence determinants of the neonatal meningitic bacterium Cronobacter sakazakii
… study aimed to apply the Multiple Locus Sequence Typing scheme (MLST) to three collections of clinical strains which had not been previously profiled by MLST. These were from USA (2011), Israel (2000), and the Czech Republic (2007-2012). The strains from the latter two collections had only been …
