determining the genetic structure of the natural population of staphylococcus aureus a comparison of multilocus sequence typing with pulsed field gel electrophoresis randomly amplified polymorphic DNA Analysis and phage typing
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2002Co-Authors: Hajo Grundmann, Mark C Enright, Satoshi Hori, Carol Webster, Adriana Tami, Edward J Feil, T L PittAbstract:We used a sample of Staphylococcus aureus strains that are carried by humans and that are representative of the natural population of S. aureus strains in order to assess the value of multilocus sequence typing (MLST), pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, randomly amplified polymorphic DNA Analysis, and phage typing as epidemiological tools. Only MLST was able to define clonal complexes unambiguously. All DNA-based typing approaches achieved a high degree of agreement, implying phylogenetic concordance, but predicted epidemiological associations with variable accuracy.

molecular characterization of brazilian human giardia duodenalis isolates using isoenzyme and random amplified polymorphic DNA Analysis
Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2003Co-Authors: Miriam Oliveira E Rocha, Maria Carmen Aires Gomes, Adriana Oliveira Costa, Cinthia Furst, Edward F SilvaAbstract:Abstract Isoenzymes and RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) Analysis were used to characterize three Brazilian human isolates of Giardia duodenalis and its clones. The Portland-1 strain (ATCC 30888) was included in the study as a reference pattern. Both methods divided the isolates into two main groups, one represented by the Portland-1 strain, the other constituted by the Brazilian isolates, which, in turn, were divided into 2 subgroups. The dendogram constructed with the RAPD data, using seven primers, revealed a great heterogeneity between Brazilian isolates and the Portland-1 strain. There was no relationship to the clinical characteristics of the isolates. Although a lot of similarity has been observed among Brazilian isolates and its clones, individual polymorphism was detected, which could be releated to the clonal reproduction of this protozoan.
