Abstract: Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) is the "gold standard" for molecular subtyping and has significant applications in disease monitoring and control programs. This chapter discusses the advantages of PFGE in light of developing technologies such as whole-genome sequencing.

“…Data clearly suggest that migratory birds can carry E. coli O157:H7 and 10 disseminates to a large area and distances in short time [54,55]. This all suggests strict monitoring of all possible food contamination to be reinforced [53,56,57]. In our data, this plausible issue couldn't be explained, elaborative nor suggested otherwise.…”

“…The distribution of a total of 71 nonduplicate VREfm received from inpatients treated at university or training hospitals in seven various hospitals of Turkey were as follows: Istanbul Faculty of Medicine (n = 11), Istanbul University‐Cerrahpaşa, Cerrahpasa Faculty of Medicine (n=6), 6 Haydarpasa GATA (n=14), 14 Ankara GATA (n=1), 1 Ege University (n=17), 17 Akdeniz University, 11 and Van Yüzüncü Yıl University 9 . All the 71 VREfm isolates were noted to have been recovered from hospitalized patients and thus represented healthcare‐associated isolates and infections.…”

“…Of these, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) of genomic restriction fragments has been considered the gold standard because of its high degree of isolate differentiation. 10,11 Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) have been developed recently to recognize genetically related and potential epidemic isolates of E faecium. MLST was recommended for strain characterization and long-term epidemiological investigations.…”
