This clone is defined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) analyses as ST-17, the so-called highly virulent clone (4 – 8 ).
Non-ST398 strains were analysed by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) [25] (www.saureus.mlst.net).net
We then examined the population structure and underlying genetic variation in our sample using the nucleotide sequences of seven housekeeping loci analysed by multilocus sequence typing (MLST).
Genetic diversity of ETEC strains was analysed by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) by using the University College Cork E. coli MLST scheme (http://mlst.warwick.ac.uk), which is based on sequencing of internal regions of 7 housekeeping genes adk, fumC, gyrB, icd, mdh, purA, and recA [ 34].
Both have the A5/M5 genotype as defined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analyses [ 23, 24].
Indeed, several species, such as N. africana, N. aobensis, N. cerradoensis, N. nova, N. kruczakiae and N. veterana, cluster together even when examined by multilocus sequence typing [5].
Nineteen CC199 isolates were selected from collections previously analyzed by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) [28], [47].
The meningococcal population is classified in different phylogenetic groups, the clonal complexes, defined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST; [3]).
grubii by multilocus sequence typing (23 ).
Consequently, the clone is identified by multilocus sequence typing as sequence type 398 (ST398).
