Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus pyogenes strains were genotyped by a combination of molecular methods for high- resolution epidemiologic studies of disease outbreaks. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis of the emm gene is reported. Alone or in conjunction with other molecular techniques (16S ribotyping, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, and detection of exotoxin genes), PCR-RFLP...
