Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) is a molecular technique used to identify and classify microorganisms—particularly bacteria—based on the DNA sequences of housekeeping genes. Rather than looking at the entire genome, scientists examine small sections of seven to eight essential genes that are present in all str…
