Abstract excerpt
Our laboratory has previously published two multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeats analysis (MLVA) methods for rapid genotyping of Escherichia coli (E. coli), which are now in routine use for surveillance and outbreak detection. The first assay developed was specific for E. coli O157:H7; however this assay was not suitable for genotyping other E. coli serotypes. A new generic MLVA-assay was then developed...
