In the Netherlands, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was implemented as routine typing tool for Salmonella Enteritidis isolates in 2019. Multiple locus variable-number tandem repeat analyses (MLVA) was p
The possibility of optimizing MLSA by using linked nucleotide sequences of two gene loci, recA and ospA, was previously shown on isolates of established species identity. However, this technique has n
Three molecular typing methods, repetitive-sequence-based PCR (rep-PCR) fingerprinting, plasmid profiling, and arbitrarily primed PCR fingerprinting, were used to characterize isolates of Salmonella e
