Abstract excerpt
Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) is a standard typing method for isolates from Salmonella outbreaks and epidemiological investigations. Eight hundred sixty-six Salmonella enterica isolates from eight serotypes, including Heidelberg (n = 323), Javiana (n = 200), Typhimurium (n = 163), Newport (n = 93), Enteritidis (n = 45), Dublin (n = 25), Pullorum (n = 9), and Choleraesuis (n = 8), were subjected to PFGE,...
