Abstract excerpt
Flagellin gene sequence polymorphisms were used to discriminate amongst 77 strains of Campylobacter jejuni from sporadic and outbreak-associated human enteric infections, and from chickens, sheep and calves. The results were assessed in relation to Lior biotyping and serotyping (Penner somatic antigens). Eight DNA PCR-RFLP patterns (genotypes) were identified by analysis of HinfI fragment length polymorphisms in...
