Abstract excerpt
Levels of phenotypic and genotypic diversity among seven Megasphaera elsdenii strains recovered from rumen contents of cattle, sheep and lambs were determined by a combination of antibiotic-resistance analysis and PCR fingerprint techniques targeted both to the ribosomal RNA operon (ARDRA, RISA) and the whole genome (ERIC-PCR, RAPD-PCR). Despite exhibiting different antibiotic resistance profiles, the tested...
