Genetic variability and molecular typing of Shigella sonnei strains isolated in Canada.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Jun 1994

Preston M A, Borczyk A A

Abstract excerpt

Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) of genomic DNAs from 49 clinical isolates of Shigella sonnei were analyzed by using a modified restriction endonuclease analysis procedure to investigate the genetic variability of this species. After cleavage with the restriction enzyme HaeIII or...
