Bacterial genetic fingerprint: a reliable factor in the study of the epidemiology of human campylobacter enteritis?

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Nov 2001

Steinbrueckner B, Ruberg F, Kist M

Abstract excerpt

The rate of human intestinal infections with more than a single Campylobacter strain was determined and the genetic variabilities of Campylobacter strains throughout an infection episode were investigated by means of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and enterobacterial repetitive intergeni...
