Repetitive extragenic palindromic PCR for study of Streptococcus mutans diversity and transmission in human populations.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Feb 2010

Abstract excerpt

Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) is considered the "gold standard" for molecular epidemiological study. Repetitive extragenic palindromic PCR (rep-PCR) is less time-consuming and more suitable for analyzing large numbers of bacterial strains in human populations. PFGE and rep-PCR provide comparable genotyping results for investigating Streptococcus mutans diversity and transmission.
