Clonal Complexes of <i>Campylobacter jejuni</i> Identified by Multilocus Sequence Typing Correlate with Strain Associations Identified by Multilocus Enzyme Electrophoresis

Abstract excerpt

Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) with SmaI were used to subtype 55 isolates of Campylobacter jejuni from a diverse range of human and animal sources previously characterized by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MEE). MEE and MLST targeted 11 and 7 loci, respectively, and all loci were unique to each method. MEE, MLST, and PFGE identified 40, 37, and 48 discrete...
