Characterization of Enterobacter cloacae Strains Isolated from different areas of Basrah Hospital by Multilocus Sequence Typing Method(MLST)

In this study we used seven genes of multilocus sequence typing(MLST) to detect genetic diversity among nine isolates of Enterobacter. The results showed that the isolates identified into the species Enterobacter cloacae belong to different strains after sequenced and analyzed of seven MLST genes. the phylogenetic trees were drawn for each gene and for all genes based on neighbor-joining method after sequences alignment in Clustal W,whereas the trees divided into groups
