Molecular epidemiology of KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae from invasive infections in Italy: Increasing diversity with predominance of the ST512 …

2016

Objectives The spread of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) represents one of the most worrisome problems for clinical medicine worldwide. In Italy, the Antibiotic-Resistance-Istituto Superiore di Sanita surveillance network, in collaboration with the Committee for Antimicrobial Agents of the Italian Society of Clinical Microbiologists, promoted a study to investigate the carbapenem-resistance mechanisms, clonal relatedness and capsular typing of a recent collection of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-KP). Methods A total of 17 laboratories distributed across Italy collected all consecutive non-replicate CR-KP isolated from invasive infections during two different s…

WITHDRAWN: Corrigendum to ‘Development of an Italian RM Y-STR haplotype database: results of the 2013 GEFI collaborative exercise’ [Forensic. Sci. In…

2018

An inconsistency in the nomenclature used for the rapidly mutating (RM) Y-chromosomal short tandem repeat (Y-STR) marker DYS449 was noted in the above paper. In this paper, the DYS449 allele nomenclature introduced by Ballantyne et al. was used, instead of that described by Redd et al. and subsequently adopted by the International RM Y-STR User Group and in the AMPFlSTR® YFiler Plus kit.

Development of an Italian RM Y-STR haplotype database: Results of the 2013 GEFI collaborative exercise.

2015

Recently introduced rapidly mutating Y-chromosomal short tandem repeat (RM Y-STR) loci, displaying a multiple-fold higher mutation rate relative to any other Y-STRs, including those conventionally used in forensic casework, have been demonstrated to improve the resolution of male lineage differentiation and to allow male relative separation usually impossible with standard Y-STRs. However, large and geographically-detailed frequency haplotype databases are required to estimate the statistical weight of RM Y-STR haplotype matches if observed in forensic casework. With this in mind, the Italian Working Group (GEFI) of the International Society for Forensic Genetics launched a collaborative ex…
