Abstract excerpt
Restriction fragment length polymorphism of ribosomal RNA genes was analysed among 133 Escherichia coli strains predominantly from blood and urine, including 21 isolates from faeces of healthy persons. The strains had also been characterized for their O:K:H serotypes, for the presence of P, S and...
