Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) is a molecular typing method used to characterize bacterial isolates or other microbial species by analyzing the sequences of multiple housekeeping genes. This technique helps in understanding the genetic diversity, population structure, and evolutionary relationships of microorganisms. ### Key Features of MLST: 1. **Housekeeping Genes**: MLST typically targets 5 to 7 conserved and universally distributed housekeeping genes.
