Abstract excerpt
We report on the development of a scheme for the typing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, multiple-locus variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) analysis (MLVA). We first evaluated the polymorphisms of 201 tandem repeat loci selected from more than 3,000 such sequences present in strain PAO1 with a test collection of 12 genotypically distinct clinical strains. Seven VNTR loci which can be easily scored with the...
