Comparison of Ribotyping and Repetitive Extragenic Palindromic-PCR for Identification of Fecal Escherichia coli from Humans and Animals

1 Mar 2003

Abstract excerpt

This report compares the performances of two popular genotypic methods used for tracking the sources of fecal pollution in water, ribotyping and repetitive extragenic palindromic-PCR (rep-PCR). The rep-PCR was more accurate, reproducible, and efficient in associating DNA fingerprints of fecal Escherichia coli with human and animal hosts of origin.
