<i>rpoB</i> sequence analysis as a novel basis for bacterial identification
1 Dec 1997
Abstract excerpt
Comparison of the sequences of conserved genes, most commonly those encoding 16S rRNA, is used for bacterial genotypic identification. Among some taxa, such as the Enterobacteriaceae, variation within this gene does not allow confident species identification. We investigated the usefulness of RNA polymerase beta-subunit encoding gene (rpoB) sequences as an alternative tool for universal bacterial genotypic...
