Title: Identification of multidrug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae strains isolated in Poland by multilocus sequence typing. Author: Sadowy E, Zhou J, Meats E, Gniadkowski M, Spratt BG, Hryniewicz W. Journal: Microb Drug Resist; 2003; 9(1):81-6. PubMed ID: 12705686. Abstract: Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) of 35 isolates of multidrug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae recovered in Poland during 1995-1996 distinguished 10 different sequence types (ST). The majority of the isolates were assigned to two Polish clones of serotypes 6B and 23F, although the international clones, Spain23F-1 and Spain9V-3, were also identified. Similar results were obtained using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), providing a direct comparison of these two typing methods.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
