Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli A0 34/86 (O83:K24:H31) is a commensal strain that has been used for prophylactic and therapeutic colonization of the intestine of newborn infants. To identify traits specific for E. coli A0 34/86, we used a minimal tiling set of 148 BAC clones of A0 34/86 genomic DNA, to construct restriction-digested BAC arrays. Hybridization with genomic DNA from four E. coli strains (CFT073; O157:H7; K12 and...
