| molecular epidemiological characteristics of salmonella enterica serovars enteritidis, typhimurium and livingstone strains isolated in a tunisian university hospital. | enteritidis, typhimurium and livingstone are the main salmonella enterica serovars recovered in tunisia. here, we aimed to assess the genetic diversity of fifty-seven salmonella enterica strains from different sampling periods, origins and settings using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (pfge), multi-locus sequence typing (mlst) and multi-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (mlva). salmonella enteritidis, isolated from human and food sources from two regions in sfax in 2007, were groupe ... | 2016 | 26608804 |
| molecular epidemiology and genetic environment of acquired bla acc-1 in salmonella enterica serotype livingstone causing a large nosocomial outbreak in tunisia. | eighty-four isolates of salmonella enterica serovar livingstone were collected from patients hospitalized in a pediatric ward in sfax hospital (south tunisia). these isolates were responsible for two nosocomial outbreaks in 2000 and 2002. twenty-eight clinical isolates of s. enterica serovar livingstone were also obtained in two other tunisian hospitals in monastir (central tunisia) and tunis (north tunisia), respectively, in 2002 and 2003. pulsed-field gel electrophoresis yielded that these iso ... | 2009 | 19857134 |
