Characterization of a tandem repeat polymorphism in Legionella pneumophila and its use for genotyping.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 May 2003

Abstract excerpt

We have analyzed the variability of minisatellite sequences (also called variable-number tandem repeats [VNTRs]) in the genome of Legionella pneumophila. Based upon the genome sequence of the Philadelphia-1 strain (serogroup 1), 25 minisatellites were selected and their polymorphisms were analyzed by PCR with the DNA of serogroup 1 to 14 reference strains. For 22 markers, a PCR product of the expected size was...
