Abstract excerpt

This minireview summarizes the historical development of bacterial population genetic concepts since the early 1980s. Initially multilocus enzyme electrophoresis was used to determine population structures but this technique is poorly portable between laboratories and was replaced in 1998 by multilocus sequence typing.
