Among MRSA isolates, ST8 was the predominant sequence type (38%), followed by ST1 (19%).
To characterize the ceftriaxone-resistant N. gonorrhoeae H041, multilocus sequence typing characterized the strain as ST7363 (5 ), which is the predominant sequence type (ST) among cefixime-resistant clones (6 ).
duttonii type II) in O. moubata complex ticks from a disease-endemic area for tickborne relapsing fever, which showed total homology with the predominant sequence type identified among B. recurrentis.
Our MLST data of the K. pneumoniae isolates from KLA patients revealed that ST23 was predominant sequence type with a rate of 57.8%, which was higher than that in the recent report from North China (37.2%) [ 15].
The comparison of these sequence types to the previously sequenced genomes identified that there is not a consistent MLST pattern associated with the isolates from invasive or colonization sources (i.e. there is not a predominant sequence type for invasion isolates).
The prominence of these two species in clinical isolates has been previously reported in a review of the international Cronobacter PubMLST database with >1000 strains (Forsythe et al. 2014) [ 10]. C. sakazakii ST4 was the predominant sequence type (32/51 strains) and composed all isolates from Prostějov hospital during a 1-year period.
In summary, K1 serotype and ST23 were the predominant serotype and sequence type of KLA K. pneumoniae in our study.
MRSA CC398 consists of 8 MLST types (www.saureus.mlst.net), the predominant type being sequence type (ST 398, and a range of closely related protein A (spa) gene types (i.e., t011, t034, t108, and t1793) (4, 5 ).
Therefore, the aim of the current study was to determine the SCC mec and sequence types of the predominant clones circulating in a large public hospital in Malaysia.
In C. jejuni, ggt is typically found in multilocus sequence types (STs) that are predominant in chickens opposed to those STs that are predominant in bovines and barnacle geese [ 18].
