Abstract excerpt
Thirty-five Listeria monocytogenes strains belonging to serogroups 1/2 and 3 and isolated from various origins were characterized by whole cellular DNA restriction patterns using low-frequency cleavage enzymes and pulsed field gel electrophoresis. Seventeen restriction profiles were detected with ApaI, 18 with SmaI and 15 with NotI, the combination of these patterns allowing one to define at least 24 distinct...
