Fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis of Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium reveals phage-type- specific markers and potential for microarray typing.

Abstract excerpt

Fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) was applied to 46 Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium isolates of Australian origin comprising nine phage types, by using the restriction enzymes MseI and EcoRI and all 16 possible MseI +1-EcoRI +1 primer pair combinations. AFLP in the present study showed a very good discrimination power with a Simpson index of diversity of 0.98, and 35 different AFLP...
