Multiple-Locus Variable number tandem repeat Analysis (MLVA)

Multiple-Locus Variable number tandem repeat Analysis (MLVA) is a method used to perform molecular typing of microorganisms (often pathogenic species) for epidemiological purposes.
It exploits naturally occurring variation in the number of tandem repeated DNA sequences found in many different loci in the genome of bacterial species. The earliest application of this
method was in forensic science where it was used for DNA fingerprinting samples from human origin. MLVA has been for genome typing several species of bacteria including Staphylococcus
lugdunensis, Salmonella Typhimurium, Mycobacterium tuberculosis among others
