Abstract excerpt
Non-capsulate strains of Haemophilus influenzae were genotyped by analysis of variable DNA segments obtained by amplification of genomic DNA with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR fingerprinting). Discrete fragments of 100-2000 bp were obtained. The reproducibility of the procedure was assessed by comparing: (i) the fingerprints of 16 colonies of a single H. influenzae strain; (ii) isolates obtained from...
