Abstract excerpt
Restriction endonuclease analysis of the PCR-amplified 16S-23S rRNA gene spacer region was used to investigate the prevalence of Bartonella henselae variants in samples from cat-scratch disease (CSD) patients. Analysis of spacer PCR fragments from 27 Bartonella DNA-positive samples from Dutch patients with CSD with AluI revealed two restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) patterns, patterns A and B....
