Another advantage of multi-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis that can putatively subdivide enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157 strains into clades by maximum a posteriori estimation

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157 (O157) strains can be subdivided into clades based on their single-nucleotide polymorphisms, but such analysis using conventional methods requires intense effort by laboratories. Although multi-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA), which can be...
