Multiplex Strategy for Multilocus Sequence Typing, fla Typing, and Genetic Determination of Antimicrobial Resistance of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli Isolates Collected in Switzerland. B.M. Korczak, M. Zurfluh, S. Emler, J. Kuhn-Oertli, and P. Kuhnert. Journal of Clinical Microbiology, July 2009, p. 1996-2007.
Citation: "... The rpoB sequence allowed phylogenetic differentiation between C. coli and C. jejuni, which was not possible by 16S rRNA gene analysis. An online ... platform for MLST data analysis specific to Campylobacter was implemented. This Web-based platform allowed automated allele and ST designation, as well as epidemiological analysis of data, thus streamlining and facilitating the analysis workflow. Data networking facilitates the exchange of information between collaborating centers. The described approach simplifies and improves the genotyping of Campylobacter, allowing cost- and time-efficient routine monitoring..."
DNA Sequencing for the Identification of Unusual Yeasts Encountered in a Clinical Mycology Laboratory. E.S. Slechta, J.I. Pounder, S. Cohen, and K.E. Hanson. Conference: ASM 2009, Philadelphia.
Citation: "... The SmartGene Fungal IDNS system is a web-based gene sequencing software and database program with approximately 83,000 quality controlled sequences for the ITS region, and 58,000 sequences for D1/D2, all derived from GenBank ..."
