Abstract
A panel of seven variable-number tandem-repeat (VNTR) markers was selected for Acinetobacter baumannii typing analysis (MLVA-7). Compared with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), MLVA-7 provided greater discrimination. We modified the criteria for MLVA complex assignments proposed previously, and a remarkable congruence between MLVA-7- and PFGE-based strain clustering was observed.Entities:
