Temporal trends of predominant multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) types in Australia. Isolates of 4 major MLVA types (MT70, MT27, MT29, and MT64) obtained in Australia were divided into 3 periods: whole cell vaccine (WCV) (before 1997), transition from WCV to acellular vaccine (ACV) (1997–1999), and ACV (2000 onward).
