Development and implementation of a core genome multilocus sequence typing scheme for Yersinia enterocolitica: a tool for surveillance and outbreak detection.

Abstract excerpt

Yersinia enterocolitica (Y. enterocolitica) is the most frequent etiological agent of yersiniosis and has been responsible for several national outbreaks in Norway and elsewhere. A standardized high-resolution method, such as core genome Multilocus Sequence Typing (cgMLST), is needed for pathogen traceability at the national and international levels. In this study, we developed and implemented a cgMLST scheme for...
