ENEMTI - ESF Network for Exchange of Microbial Typing Information

ENEMTI is a network of European laboratories that aims to standardise methods and data exchange protocols for Internet-based comparison of microbial fingerprinting data. We aim initially to develop an Internet-based database system for DNA fingerprints that is readily accessible and user-friendly for microbiologists with only limited computer expertise.

Multi Locus Sequence Typing

Multi Locus Sequence Typing (MLST) is a nucleotide-sequence based approach for the unambiguous characterization of isolates of bacteria and other organisms via the internet. The aim of MLST is to provide a portable, accurate, and highly discriminating typing system that can be used for most bacteria and some other organisms. It is envisaged that this approach will be particularly helpful for the typing of bacterial pathogens.
