Thus, molecular typing methods are required.
Our intention is to emphasize the recent molecular typing methods applied in genotyping Entamoeba species and strains, and to assess their value and limitations.
To test the ascending urethral infection in the pathogenesis of acute bacterial prostatitis, we assessed the clonality of Escherichia coli strains isolated from urine and rectal swab of patients with acute bacterial prostatitis using molecular typing methods.
Much more discriminatory molecular typing methods have been described in the past few years.
The putative lactobacilli isolates were further subjected to catalase test and molecular typing methods.
HLA alleles were determined in subpopulations of IPF and normal subjects using molecular typing methods.
Recent progress in molecular typing methods enables large-scale investigations in the population structure of this species.
Several different molecular typing methods are available, these have recently been reviewed by Struelens et al [2].
A USA300 strain known as SF8300 [41], which is essentially identical to strain LAC by molecular typing methods, was used to construct single, double, and triple-deletion strains.
Moreover, when a study includes many population samples that were not characterized by the same molecular typing methods, the existence of different ambiguity patterns in different population samples further increases the complexity of the data.
In addition, molecular typing methods have been used to identify the links between illnesses and specific strains of pathogens such as dengue viruses, influenza viruses, human papillomaviruses, hepatitis C viruses, and HIV [26], [27].
