Abstract excerpt
A panel of 916 isolates, including 703 closely related IST1 isolates, were characterized by inter-IS1 spacer typing (IST), pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat (VNTR) analysis (MLVA) to evaluate the utility of MLVA as a molecular tool for the phylogenetic analysis of Shigella sonnei. The global phylogenetic patterns determined by IST, PFGE, and MLVA were...
