Harmonization of the multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis method between Denmark and Norway for typing Salmonella Typhimurium isolates and closer examination of the VNTR loci.

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: Harmonization and evaluation of the multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) method for sub-typing Salmonella enterica ssp. enterica serovar Typhimurium (Salm. Typhimurium) in Denmark and Norway, and analysis of the typing data. METHODS AND RESULTS: The Salm. Typhimurium MLVA (STMLVA) method, which uses length polymorphisms in five tandem-repeated DNA loci to differentiate isolates, was...
