Molecular typing of Campylobacter jejuni strains: comparison among four different techniques

Molecular Typing of Campylobacter Jejuni

Molecular typing of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli.

Shi et al. (7) presented data on the development and application of a PCR-based restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of a 9.6-kb portion of the lipopolysaccharide gene (LG) cluster of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli. This proposed molecular subtyping system is novel and has the potential of being directly applicable to epidemiology, prevalence, and other studies. I agre...

Molecular typing and source attribution of Finnish Campylobacter jejuni isolates

Sequence typing and comparison of population biology of Campylobacter coli and Campylobacter jejuni.

A multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme that uses the same loci as a previously described system for Campylobacter jejuni was developed for Campylobacter coli. The C. coli-specific primers were validated with 53 isolates from humans, chickens, and pigs, together with 15 Penner serotype reference isolates. The nucleotide sequence of the flaA short variable region (SVR) was determined for each...
