The phrase "a range of isolates" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a variety of distinct entities or samples that are isolated from a larger group, often in scientific or research contexts.
Example: "In our study, we examined a range of isolates to determine their resistance to antibiotics."
Alternatives: "a variety of isolates" or "a selection of isolates".
A range of isolates has been employed as information on differences in virulence between isolates helps to guide choices for regulatory agencies and researchers involved in monitoring programmes and for the conduct of host range tests.
In pea, the sbm1 resistance gene is effective against both BYMV [4] and a range of isolates of PSbMV [5] with lines carrying the dominant SBM1 allele being universally susceptible to PSbMV, unless a second unlinked recessive resistance (sbm2) was present [6].
isolates 93024, 08041, 08049, 08063, 08094 and 08095; Table 1) Miniaturized microarray analysis also identified the likely presence of dihydrofolate reductase (dfrA1, dfrA12, dfrA13), as well as sul1, that mediates resistance to sulmethoprim, in a range of isolates that were resistant to sulphamethoxazole/trimethoprim (Table 1).
LPS-based serologic assays should use a range of isolates representative of known LPS types.
The majority of sequences are derived from environmental surveys of nifH, although the database also contains sequences obtained from a range of isolates.
Although the majority of sequences are derived from environmental surveys of proteorhodopsin genes, the database also contains sequences obtained from a range of isolates or large genomic DNA fragments bearing a 16S rRNA gene copy.
Ms. Williams won a ruling from the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit that she was "substantially limited in performing manual tasks" -- a judicial approach that avoided confronting the clouded issue of "working" -- and was therefore disabled despite her remaining ability to perform "a range of isolated, nonrepetitive manual tasks".
A range of important isolates have been sequenced, including MDR A. baumannii isolates, in addition to those that are susceptible to antimicrobials.
Both RT-PCR and nPCR detected a range of 21 isolates collected from Europe, America and Asia (including A, B and P pathotypes) isolated from either sugar beet or Chenopodium quinoa.
To determine whether late-stage egg production was seen in wild isolates of C. elegans, the embryo stage of hermaphrodites from a range of wild isolates on the third day of reproduction was tested.
The assays were validated against a range of different isolates from Europe and the Far East.
