macrorestriction analysis and antimicrobial susceptibility profiling of salmonella enterica at a university teaching hospital, kuala lumpur. | the genetic diversity and antimicrobial resistance rates of clinical salmonella isolates (2007-2008) at the university of malaya medical centre, kuala lumpur, were investigated and the genetic diversity of the isolates was determined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (pfge) and repetitive extragenic palindromic (rep)-pcr. xbai-pfge analysis generated 57 profiles (dice coefficient, f=0.08-1.00), whereas rep-pcr using the rep primer generated only 35 (f=0.34-1.00). pfge was therefore the more di ... | 2010 | 20858996 |
insights from the genome sequence of a salmonella enterica serovar typhi strain associated with a sporadic case of typhoid fever in malaysia. | salmonella enterica serovar typhi is the causative agent of typhoid fever, which causes nearly 21.7 million illnesses and 217,000 deaths globally. herein, we describe the whole-genome sequence of the salmonella typhi strain st0208, isolated from a sporadic case of typhoid fever in kuala lumpur, malaysia. the whole-genome sequence and comparative genomics allow an in-depth understanding of the genetic diversity, and its link to pathogenicity and evolutionary dynamics, of this highly clonal pathog ... | 2012 | 22933756 |
