Genotypic identification of two groups within the species Bacteroides fragilis by ribotyping and by analysis of PCR-generated fragment patterns and insertion sequence content.

Abstract excerpt

Molecular typing allowed the separation of the species Bacteroides fragilis into two genotypically distinct groups. A unique set of 50 strains of B. fragilis carrying the chromosomal metallo-beta-lactamase gene cfiA was subjected to a comparative analysis with respect to sets of up to 250 randomly collected strains devoid of this gene. The two groups were found to be distinct on the basis of the following...
