Introduction Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) is a molecular typing technique used in microbiology and genetics to classify and differentiate bacterial strains based on their genetic diversity. MLST is particularly valuable for studying the epidemiology and evolution of bacterial pathogens. Here is an introduction to the …
Introduction Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) is a powerful laboratory technique used in molecular biology and genetics to separate and analyze large DNA molecules, such as genomic DNA, by their size. PFGE is particularly valuable when studying organisms with complex genomes, such as bacteria, yeast, and …
Introduction Candida parapsilosis is a species of yeast that belongs to the Candida genus, which includes various fungi commonly found in the environment and on the human body. Candida species are part of the normal human microbiota, residing on the skin, mucous membranes, and gastrointestinal …
