To describe the temporal dynamics, molecular characterization, clinical and ex vivo virulence of emerging O1:K1 neonatal meningitis Escherichia coli (NMEC) strains of Sequence Type complex (STc) 95 in France. The national reference center collected NMEC strains and performed whole genome sequencing (WGS) of O1:K1 STc95 NMEC strains for phylogenetic and virulence genes content analysis. Data on the clinical and biological features of patients were also collected. Ex vivo virulence was assessed using the Dictyostelium discoideum amoeba model.

View all literature mentionsTHIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on March 17, 2022. A nucleotide sequence based approach for the unambiguous characterisation of isolates of bacteria and other organisms via the internet. The aim of MLST is to provide a portable, accurate, and highly discriminating typing system that can be used for most bacteria and some other organisms. It is envisaged that this approach will be particularly helpful for the typing of bacterial pathogens. To achieve this aim we have taken the proven concepts of multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MLEE) and have adapted them so that alleles at each locus are defined directly, by nucleotide sequencing, rather than indirectly from the electrophoretic moblity of their gene products. MLST was developed in the laboratories of Martin Maiden, Dominique Caugant, Ian Feavers, Mark Achtman and Brian Spratt. This site is hosted at Imperial College with funding from the Wellcome Trust. The location of the subsites for the individual species are shown on their respective front pages.
