Abstract excerpt
AIM: To assess whether multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) could replace pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) for genotyping of Klebsiella pneumoniae, this study was conducted to compare the typeability, discriminatory power, and concordance of these methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We used the nine variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) loci scheme to test its suitability for...
