AI Article Synopsis
- MLVA, multiplex PCR, and PCR-RFLP were compared for typing Brucella suis isolates and showed perfect agreement in results.
- MLVA uniquely identified brucellosis outbreaks.
- It also confirmed that wildlife acts as a reservoir for zoonotic brucellosis.
Article Abstract
Multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA), multiplex PCR, and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis were compared for typing Brucella suis isolates. A perfect concordance was obtained among these molecular assays. However, MLVA was the only method to demonstrate brucellosis outbreaks and to confirm that wildlife is a reservoir for zoonotic brucellosis.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in , the causative agent of Enzootic Pneumonia in swine, poses a significant challenge to the swine industry. This review focuses on the genetic foundations of AMR in , highlighting the complexity of resistance mechanisms, including mutations, horizontal gene transfer, and adaptive evolutionary processes. Techniques such as Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) and multiple-locus variable number tandem repeats analysis (MLVA) have provided insights into the genetic diversity and resistance mechanisms of .

Article Synopsis
- Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) are a major public health concern, and understanding their genomic characteristics is vital for monitoring and controlling infections.
- This study focuses on the use of long-read whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to analyze the molecular profiles of 356 MDRO isolates, including various bacteria such as Klebsiella pneumoniae and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
- Results showed that long-read sequencing provides comparable molecular data to short-read sequencing, with high consistency in multi-locus sequence typing (wgMLST) profiles, though some differences were noted in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) outbreak in intensive care units (ICUs) is a significant problem for healthcare facilities. In this study, we aimed to investigate the occurrence of CRAB isolates among ICU-admitted patients during the three waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in Iran using Multiple-Locus Variable Number Tandem-Repeat Analysis (MLVA). We obtained 50 (A) baumannii isolates from tracheal aspirate and blood culture samples.

The present retrospective study investigated the genetic diversity of 173 isolates (166 clinical, 7 environmental) of collected from clinical pathology laboratories in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire (2001-2011). Multiple-Locus Variable Number of Tandem Repeats (VNTR) Analysis (MLVA) using 13 loci was applied to all isolates and compared to published MLVA data.

Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) sequence type (ST) 45 was first reported in Taiwan in 2006. Since then, the prevalence of ST45 MRSA in clinical isolates has increased. This study was carried out to understand the changes in the proportions, evolutionary relationships, and infection advantages of ST45 and its related clones.
