Multilocus sequence typing gives us unparalleled insights into the population biology of bacterial species, including those that cause healthcare-associated and/or community-acquired infections. For many of these species, we now recognize the existence of internationally prevalent clones, which are often resistant to multiple antibiotics.
多位点序列分型为我们深入了解细菌物种的群体生物学提供了无与伦比的视角,包括那些导致医疗保健相关和/或社区获得性感染的细菌。对于其中许多物种,我们现在认识到存在国际流行的克隆株,这些克隆株通常对多种抗生素具有抗性。
