Extended Sequence Typing of Campylobacter spp., United Kingdom

摘要

Supplementing Campylobacter spp. multilocus se-quence typing with nucleotide sequence typing of 3 antigen genes increased the discriminatory index achieved from 0.975 to 0.992 among 620 clinical isolates from Oxford-shire, United Kingdom. This enhanced typing scheme en-abled identifi cation of clusters and retained data required for long-range epidemiologic comparisons of isolates
