Repetitive elements sequence (REP/ERIC)-PCR based genotyping of clinical and environmental strains of Yersinia enterocolitica biotype 1A reveal existence of limited number of clonal groups.

Abstract excerpt

REP- and ERIC-PCR genotyping were used to assess genetic heterogeneity among 81 strains of Yersinia enterocolitica biotype 1A isolated from India, Germany, France and the USA. Although both gave comparable results, ERIC fingerprints discriminated the strains better. The rep- (REP and ERIC) PCR genotyping showed that strains having different serotypes produced identical rep-profiles indicating their limited...
