Development of a Variable-Number Tandem-Repeats (VNTR) analysis method for the subtyping of Salmonella enterica serovar Infantis und Virchow
Project
Project code: BfR-BIOS-08-1322-311
Contract period: 01.04.2008
- 31.12.2008
Purpose of research: Applied research
For Salmonella foodborne outbreak investigations highly discriminative typing methods are necessary to identify outbreak related strains and to determine their clonality. It has been shown that the Multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeats analysis (MLVA) is a useful method for the subtyping of various pathogens. Beside the Salmonella serovars Enteritidis and Typhimurium, for those at the NRL-Salm MLVA systems were also developed, Infantis and Virchow belong to the most reported serovars. For both serovars a MLVA system will be developed for tracing the source of an outbreak.
