Abstract excerpt
Epidemics of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Chile have occurred since 1998. Direct genome restriction enzyme analysis (DGREA) using conventional gel electrophoresis permitted discrimination of different V. parahaemolyticus isolates obtained from these outbreaks and showed that this species consists of a highly diverse population. A multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat (VNTR) analysis (MLVA) approach was...
