Abstract excerpt
The efficiency of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), ribotyping and restriction enzyme analysis of the virulence plasmid (REAP) for typing and subtyping strains of Yersinia enterocolitica was compared. All three techniques gave concordant results, and the strains studied could be separated into three distinct clusters: (1) heterogeneous strains of biotype 1A and serotype O5 (1A/O5); (2) one 3/O3 strain and...
