“…The acquired divergent melting curves represent individual melting alleles, and a combination of individual loci’s alleles enables the isolate to be assigned as a melting type (MelT). So far, mini-MLST schemes have been published for Staphylococcus aureus ( 19 ), Klebsiella pneumoniae ( 20 ), Streptococcus pyogenes ( 21 ), Enterococcus faecium ( 22 ), Campylobacter jejuni ( 23 ), and Escherichia coli ( 24 ). Here, we describe a novel mini-MLST scheme for P. aeruginosa as an alternative method for rapid genotyping suitable for routine clinical practice.…”
