Temperate Bacteriophages Affect Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis Patterns of Campylobacter jejuni
30 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
The recently sequenced genome of Campylobacter jejuni RM1221 revealed the presence of three integrated bacteriophage-like elements. In this study, genes from the first element, a Mu-like bacteriophage, were amplified by PCR and used to probe pulsed-field gels of clinical C. jejuni strains obtained from a waterborne outbreak (Ontario, Canada, 2000). These highly similar strains differed only by their pulsed-field...
