Abstract excerpt
Bartonella henselae isolates from different hosts display a marked genetic heterogeneity, as determined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). The aim of the present study was to determine whether different genetic variants may coexist within the population of distinct B. henselae isolates and could be detected by PFGE. Three primary B. henselae isolates and the B. henselae reference strains ATCC 49793 and...
