Abstract excerpt
The genetic diversity and clonal relationships among 77 Escherichia coli strains isolated in France from diarrhoeic rabbits and that belonged to seven O serogroups including the predominant O103 serogroup, were estimated by ribotyping and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assays. Fifteen ribotypes were defined. Most of the highly pathogenic O103 strains could be assigned to two major groups. Non-pathogenic...
