A collection of 101 Leptospira isolates was tested by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and by traditional serotyping. MLST divided the isolates into 4 sequence types (STs), while serotyping classified them into 6 serogroups. Two isolates failed to generate products for some genes by MLST. MLST was less discriminatory than serotyping for uncommonly occurring isolates from humans in Brazil.
收集了 101 株钩端螺旋体分离株,通过多位点序列分型(MLST)和传统血清分型进行了测试。MLST 将分离株分为 4 种序列型(ST),而血清分型将它们分为 6 个血清群。有两个分离株的某些基因 MLST 无法产生产物。对于在巴西从人类中分离出的罕见分离株,MLST 的分辨力不如血清分型。
