ABSTRACT
We developed a new method of typing for anginosus group streptococci (SAG). It is the first SAG-dedicated, PCR-based method, which allows to determine the relationship between strains. The method is based on the detection of tandem repeats among 9 genomic loci and is classified as multilocus variable number tandem repeats fingerprint (MLVF) type of analysis. Using the described method, it is possible to detect over half million MLVF patterns, which correlate with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis profiles. The other advantage of the method is relatively short time from "cell to data", low costs, and easy application for epidemiological and evolutionary studies.
