Objective: To compare the discriminatory ability between multilocus sequence typing system (MLST) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE).
Methods: Salmonella enteritidis strains, isolated from food in China were identified by MLST, under PCR products of thrA, purE, sucA, aroC, hemD, dnaN and Sdf I. The same set of strains was typed by PFGE using Xba I, Spe I as the restriction enzyme in order to compare the discriminatory power of the methods.
Results: Data from MLST revealed the lack of diversity among the strains of the same serotype and the number of variable nucleotide sites per locus ranged from 1 to 23 between Salmonella typhi LT2 and other serotypes of Salmonella. However, 50 Salmonella enteritidis strains were identified as 11 patterns and more sub-patterns by PFGE.
Conclusion: In strain typing, PFGE was the highly discriminatory method comparing to the MLST system.

Background: Our research aimed to investigate the potential of in vitro triple antimicrobial synergism against carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) as a strategy to overcome antimicrobial resistance.
Methods: We used 12 CRPA blood isolates stocked in the Asian Bacterial Bank between 2016 and 2018. All isolates were tested by multi-locus sequencing and carbapenemase multiplex PCR.

To understand the colonization status of Group B Streptococcus (GBS) in the reproductive tract of pregnant women in the Linyi region, the drug resistance, genotype distribution, and molecular epidemiological characteristics of GBS, and to explore the high-risk factors for GBS infection in late-stage pregnant women. A total of 3269 pregnant women at 35-37 weeks of gestation who visited the Obstetrics Department of Linyi Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2019 to December 2021 were selected as the study subjects. Vaginal and rectal swabs were collected for GBS culture.

Introduction: Bunge is an important medicinal legume species widely cultivated in northeastern China (NEC) and northwestern China (NWC) and can establish a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing rhizobial strains. However, there are limited reports comparing the genetic diversity, differentiation, and gene flow of rhizobial strains associated with this plant in different geographic regions.
Methods: We used multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) to investigate the phylogeny and genetic diversity of rhizobia and to estimate their intra- and inter-regional gene flow and genetic differentiation based on the analysis of concatenated core genes (, , and ) and the critical symbiotic gene .
