Abstract excerpt

The genetic diversity among South African Mycobacterium bovis isolates from cattle was determined by genetic fingerprinting. The restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers IS6110 and polymorphic GC-rich sequence (PGRS) as well as spoligotyping and determination of variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) were used to characterize sub samples of 91 M. bovis field isolates. PGRS RFLP was the single...
