Variable number tandem repeat loci providing discrimination within widespread genotypes of Acinetobacter baumannii.

European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology - 1 May 2009

Abstract excerpt

Some genotypes of Acinetobacter baumannii, defined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), have been found in many hospitals. Our aim was to find variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) loci capable of providing discrimination among isolates with highly similar or identical PFGE profiles, to gain insights into the epidemiology. Thirteen loci identified in A. baumannii ATCC 17978 were tested using a panel of...
