Identification of <i>Clostridium</i> Species and DNA Fingerprinting of <i>Clostridium perfringens</i> by Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis
1 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
An amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) method was applied to 129 strains representing 24 different Clostridium species, with special emphasis on pathogenic clostridia of medical or veterinary interest, to assess the potential of AFLP for identification of clostridia. In addition, the ability of the same AFLP protocol to type clostridia at the strain level was assessed by focusing on Clostridium...
