Journal ArticleDOI

Clonality and antimicrobial resistance gene profiles of multidrug- resistant Salmonella enterica serovar infantis isolates from four public hospitals in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

TL;DR: Thirty-four serovar Infantis strains isolated from children admitted to four different Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, hospitals between 1996 and 2001 were characterized by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and antimicrobial susceptibility testing in order to determine their genetic relatedness and antimacterial resistance profiles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of molecular typing methods useful for detecting clusters of Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli isolates through routine surveillance.

TL;DR: Comparative genomic fingerprinting appears to be one of the optimal methods for the detection of clusters of cases, and it could be supplemented by the sequencing of the flaA gene short variable region (flaA SVR sequence typing), with or without subsequent multilocus sequence typing (MLST).
Journal ArticleDOI

Temperate Bacteriophages Affect Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis Patterns of Campylobacter jejuni

TL;DR: The bacteriophage gene sequences were similar, but not identical, in the outbreak strains and RM1221, indicating that differences may exist between the bacter iophages.
Journal ArticleDOI

Limited genetic diversity in Salmonella enterica Serovar Enteritidis PT13

TL;DR: Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), DNA sequence-based typing (SBT) genomic analyses, plasmid analyses, and automated repetitive sequence- based PCR (rep-PCR) to identify epidemiologically significant traits capable of subtyping S. Enteritidis PT13 strains suggest that Canadian S. enterica serovar Typhimurium strain LT2 and S.EnteritidisPT13 strains are highly related genetically.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic characterization of clinical and agri-food isolates of multi drug resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Heidelberg from Canada

TL;DR: It was not possible to identify variable traits that would be suitable for source tracking between human and agri-food isolates of S. Heidelberg in Canada because of the overall limited genetic diversity among the isolates.
