Journal ArticleDOI
Standardization of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis protocols for the subtyping of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella, and Shigella for PulseNet.
Efrain M. Ribot,M.A. Fair,R. Gautom,Daniel N. Cameron,Susan B. Hunter,B. Swaminathan,Timothy J. Barrett +6 more
TL;DR: Standardized rapid pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) protocols for the subtyping of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella serotypes, and Shigella species are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ceftriaxone-resistant salmonella infection acquired by a child from cattle.
Paul D. Fey,Thomas J. Safranek,Mark E. Rupp,Eileen F. Dunne,Efrain M. Ribot,Peter C. Iwen,Patricia A. Bradford,Frederick J. Angulo,Steven H. Hinrichs +8 more
TL;DR: This study provides additional evidence that antibiotic-resistant strains of salmonella in the United States evolve primarily in livestock.
Journal ArticleDOI
Establishment of a Universal Size Standard Strain for Use with the PulseNet Standardized Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis Protocols: Converting the National Databases to the New Size Standard
Susan B. Hunter,Paul Vauterin,Mary Ann Lambert-Fair,M. Susan Van Duyne,Kristy Kubota,Lewis M. Graves,Donna Wrigley,Timothy J. Barrett,Efrain M. Ribot +8 more
TL;DR: The Salmonella serotype Braenderup strain was chosen as the universal size standard and subjected to rigorous testing in laboratories to ensure that it met the desired criteria, including coverage of a wide range of DNA fragment sizes, even distribution of bands, and stability of the PFGE pattern.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis Protocol for Subtyping of Campylobacter jejuni
TL;DR: Comparison of PFGE patterns obtained in six laboratories showed that subtyping results obtained using this protocol are highly reproducible, whereas the most widely used current protocols require 3 to 4 days to complete.
Journal ArticleDOI
PulseNet USA: a five-year update.
Peter Gerner-Smidt,Kelley Hise,J. Kincaid,Susan B. Hunter,S. Rolando,Eija Hyytia-Trees,Efrain M. Ribot,B. Swaminathan,Pulsenet Taskforce +8 more
TL;DR: PulseNet USA is the molecular surveillance network for foodborne infections in the United States, including the methodologies used and its future possibilities, and the currently preferred subtyping method is pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), a proven highly discriminatory molecular subtyped method.
