Discriminatory genotyping methods for the analysis of Escherichia coli other than O157:H7 are necessary for public health-related activities. A new multi-locus variable number tandem repeat analysis protocol is presented; this method achieves an index of discrimination of 99.5% and is reproducible and valid when tested on a collection of 836 diverse E. coli.
对于与公共卫生相关的活动而言,用于分析除O157:H7之外的大肠杆菌的鉴别基因分型方法是必要的。本文提出了一种新的多位点可变数目串联重复序列分析方案;该方法的鉴别指数达到99.5%,并且在对836株不同的大肠杆菌进行测试时具有可重复性和有效性。
