A panel of seven variable-number tandem-repeat (VNTR) markers was selected for Acinetobacter baumannii typing analysis (MLVA-7). Compared with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), MLVA-7 provided greater discrimination. We modified the criteria for MLVA complex assignments proposed previously, and a remarkable congruence between MLVA-7- and PFGE-based strain clustering was observed.
选取了七个可变数目串联重复(VNTR)标记的小组进行鲍曼不动杆菌分型分析(MLVA-7)。与脉冲场凝胶电泳(PFGE)相比,MLVA-7 提供了更高的分辨率。我们修改了先前提出的 MLVA 复杂分配标准,观察到 MLVA-7 和 PFGE 基于菌株聚类之间存在显著一致性。
