Add to ORKGAbstract: Polymorphic Amplified Typing Sequences (PATS) is a PCR-based Escherichia coli O157 (O157) strain typing system. Here, we show that PATS compares excellently with Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) in that both meth-ods cluster geographically diverse O157 isolates similarly. Comparative analysis of the results obtained in this simulated “blind ” study attests to the discriminating power and applicability of PATS to epidemiological/nosocomial situations
