Intraspecies Genomic Groups in <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> and Their Correlation with Origin and Pathogenicity
1 Mar 2002
Abstract excerpt
Seventy-eight Enterococcus faecium strains from various sources were characterized by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR, amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) analysis of SmaI restriction patterns. Two main genomic groups (I and II) were obtained in both RAPD-PCR and AFLP analyses. DNA-DNA hybridization values between representative strains of both...
