Abstract excerpt
AIMS: A panel of pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) type variants of Campylobacter jejuni, previously identified as of clonal origin, were investigated to determine whether genomic instability could be observed during competitive growth. METHODS AND RESULTS: Upon recovery from frozen storage, some variants had undergone alterations in PFGE profiles, but subsequent culture produced constant genotypes....
