Abstract

All bacterial genomes contain multiple loci of repetitive DNA. Repeat unit sizes and repeat sequences may vary when multiple loci are considered for different isolates of an individual microbial species. Moreover, it has been documented on many occasions that the number of repeat units per locus is a strain-defining parameter. Consequently, there is isolate-specificity in the number of repeats per locus when different strains of a given bacterial species are compared. The experimental assessment of this variability for a number of different loci has been called 'multilocus variable number of tandem repeat analysis' (MLVA). The approach can be supported or extended by locus-specific DNA sequencing for establishing mutations in the individual repeat units, which usually enhances the resolution of the approach considerably. Essentially, MLVA with or without supportive sequencing has been developed for all of the medically relevant bacterial species and can be used effectively for tracing outbreaks or other forms of bacterial dissemination. MLVA is a modern, timely and versatile bacterial typing methodology.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
