Abstract excerpt
The accurate sub-typing of Salmonella enterica isolates is essential for epidemiological investigations and surveillance of Salmonella infections. Salmonella isolates are currently identified using the Kauffman-White serotyping scheme. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) schemes have been developed...
