Abstract excerpt
The extent of genetic differentiation among 80 Escherichia coli isolates collected from turkeys with acute colisepticemia was assessed based on allelic variation at 20 enzyme-encoding loci detected by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis. Isolates were polymorphic at 17 loci and were classified into 32 multilocus genotypes, delineating clones, that differed on average at 36% of the loci. In the total sample, 29...
