Abstract excerpt
Genomic fingerprints from the DNA of 27 strains of Porphyromonas endodontalis from diverse clinical and geographic origins were generated as random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) using the technique of PCR amplification with a single primer of arbitrary sequence. Cluster analysis of the combined RAPD data obtained with three selected 9- or 10-mer-long primers identified 25 distinct RAPD types which clustered as...
