Abstract excerpt
A published multiple-locus variable number of tandem-repeats analysis (MLVA) scheme was compared with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) for genotyping of 62 Escherichia coli O26 strains from humans, animals and food. The strains were isolated between 1947 and 2006 in eight countries on three continents and divided into 23 enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), 33 enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), one...
