Abstract excerpt
Scanning densitometry and computer-assisted numerical analysis were used to examine restriction endonuclease digest patterns (RDPs) of chromosomal DNA from 26 infecting strains and 44 vaginal isolates of group B beta-haemolytic streptococci (GBS). At the 95% similarity level, HindIII RDPs of serotype Ia and III strains clustered into four and three RDP types, respectively. Nine of 10 strains from neonates with...
