Abstract excerpt
Probe hybridization array typing (PHAT) is a previously validated, high-throughput, highly discriminatory binary typing method based on the presence or absence of genetic material. To increase the utility of PHAT, we identified a refined PHAT probe set using 24 known and potential Escherichia coli virulence genes, by which groups similar to multilocus sequence typing (MLST) clonal groups (CGs) could be...
