Abstract excerpt
The identification and differentiation of the two variants of the ail gene, ailA from the more virulent American serotypes (08, 013a, 13b, 018, 020, 021) and ailNA from the less virulent non-American serotypes (03, 04, 05, 06, 09, 027 and 07, 8) was studied in a panel of 32 Yersinia enterocolitica human pathogenic isolates. A 444 bp fragment corresponding to the ail gene was amplified using a PCR procedure in all...
