Article Abstract
Multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) was performed with 292 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates previously characterized by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, multilocus sequence typing, and staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec typing. Quantitative correspondence analyses showed the best correlation between data when an >or=80% cutoff was applied to MLVA. We confirmed the validity of MLVA for identification of related strains in a polyclonal MRSA population.

This systematic review, conducted according to PRISMA guidelines, provides a comprehensive synthesis of epidemiological data on Coxiella burnetii, the causative agent of Q fever, in humans and animals worldwide. A total of 1321 publications were identified, of which 166 met the inclusion criteria. Q fever, first described in 1937 in Australian abattoir workers, remains a globally distributed zoonosis, with domestic ruminants (sheep, goats, cattle) serving as the primary reservoirs and sources of human infection.

Erwinia amylovora is a highly destructive phytopathogenic bacterium that causes fire blight in Rosaceae plants, particularly apple and pear trees. Due to its status as a quarantine organism in many countries, extensive epidemiological and genotypic studies have been conducted to better understand and manage this pathogen. This study presents a novel workflow for identifying strain-specific simple sequence repeats (SSRs) in bacterial genomes, focusing on E.

Background: The multiplicity of infection sources along with the genetically homogenous nature of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) necessitates the application of high-discriminative fingerprinting techniques to establish epidemiological links and control of paratuberculosis in ruminants. The present study aimed to develop a simple Multiple-Locus Variable-Number Tandem-Repeat Analysis (MLVA) assay suitable for low-budget laboratory settings.

Q fever, caused by , is a zoonotic disease that poses significant risks to both livestock productivity and human health. This is the first molecular and epidemiological study of infections on a Boer goat farm in South Korea, encompassing clinical cases in animals and humans, as well as environmental contamination. The investigation was initiated following abortion cases at a farm that co-raised Boer goats and cattle.
