Description

Microorganism strain typing, also known as typing, subtyping, and fingerprinting, is used to determine the relationship between different isolates within a specific species or subspecies in order to determine their ancestral relationship and evolutionary pattern. Typing is valuable in multiple contexts, such as detecting and tracking foodborne illness outbreaks and monitoring hospital-associated infections. Typing methods can be based on phenotypic or genetic characteristics. Phenotypic typing methods include serotyping, phage typing, and multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MEE). Genetic typing methods include pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), ribotyping, and DNA-sequencing based methodologies such as multilocus sequence typing (MLST). PMID: 12144198 Microorganism typing can be done for a variety of organisms including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Source: Regenstrief LOINC
