Abstract

Multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) for seven genomic loci was developed for Enterococcus faecalis. MLVA and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) resulted in 37 and 31 genotypes among 83 strains, respectively. Both typing schemes were highly concordant (90.4%). MLVA is an excellent alternative to PFGE.
