Abstract
Genomic Analysis of<i>Salmonella enterica</i>Serovar Typhimurium Definitive Phage Type 104
Highlights
An Multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) system has been developed for analyzing S. enterica serovar Typhimurium [4,5]
Types of 100 isolates were in the DT104 group, comprising DT104, DT104B, and U302, the latter being related to DT104 [2]; MLVA was performed by using the 5 loci (STTR3, STTR5, STTR6, STTR9, and STTR10) with slight modifications [4,5]
Using the 5 common loci (MLVA5) in analysis, we identified 66 types with a D value of 0.974; use of MLVA5 plus the DT104o locus (MLVA6) identified 83 types with a D value of 0.984. These results indicate that the DT104o locus is highly specific and useful as an additional molecular epidemiologic marker for analyzing S. enterica ser

Genomic Analysis of Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium Multidrug-resistant S. enterica serovar Typhimurium definitive phage type (DT) 104 emerged during the early 1990s in the United Kingdom and spread worldwide thereafter [1]. An MLVA system has been developed for analyzing S. enterica serovar Typhimurium [4,5].
