Recently a new technique called multilocus sequence typing MLST 11 has been described. Based on analysis of the genes which constitute a DNA sequence, it has shown itself to be a powerful tool for discriminating between pathogens of the same species.
Recientemente se ha descrito una técnica denominada "multi-locus sequence typing" MLST 11 basada en el análisis de la secuencia de ADN en genes constitutivos, la cual ha mostrado un alto grado de poder discriminatorio entre patógenos de una misma especie.
