Abstract excerpt

Whole-cell chromosomal digests of 54 isolates of Streptococcus suis encompassing all known serotypes from a geographically varied collection were examined by PstI restriction fragment length polymorphisms and then hybridized with a digoxigenin-11-dUTP-labeled cDNA probe transcribed from a mixture...
