New Multilocus Sequence Typing Scheme for Enterococcus faecium Based on Whole Genome Sequencing Data

New Multilocus Sequence Typing Scheme for Enterococcus faecium Based on Whole Genome Sequencing Data

ABSTRACT The MLST scheme currently used for Enterococcus faecium typing was designed in 2002 and is based on putative gene functions and Enterococcus faecalis gene sequences available at that time. As a result, the original MLST scheme does not correspond to the real genetic relatedness of E. faeciu...
