Application of different chromosomal DNA restriction digest fingerprints to specific and subspecific identification of Campylobacter isolates.

Application of serotyping and chromosomal restriction endonuclease digest analysis in investigating a laboratory-acquired case of Campylobacter jejuni enteritis.

A frequently passaged laboratory strain of Campylobacter jejuni was confirmed by serotyping on the basis of thermostable antigens and by bacterial chromosomal restriction endonuclease digests to be the causative agent of enteritis in a laboratory worker.

Characterization of Avian Pasteurella multocida Isolates by Protein Profiles and Restriction Enzyme Analysis of Chromosomal DNA

Typing of Campylobacter pylori by bacterial DNA restriction endonuclease analysis and determination of plasmid profile.

Campylobacter pylori isolates from 37 symptomatic patients and 3 asymptomatic volunteers were examined by chromosomal DNA restriction endonuclease analysis and determination of plasmid profile. Restriction digests with HindIII, HaeIII, PvuII, and BglII produced clear and reproducible results that permitted discrimination between different strains. Only 35% of C. pylori isolates were found to ha...

Identification of Avian Salmonella Isolates by PCR-RFLP Analysis of a fliC Gene Fragment

The genus of Salmonella is very polymorphic and comprised of a number of genetically closely related serotypes. It is one of the emerging pathogen in food-borne disease which is often found in contaminated chicken eggs. Salmonella enterica is considered one of the major pathogens in public health worldwide. A total of 31 Salmonella isolates identified by specific antisera, which included Salmon...

Detection of genomic variation in Providencia stuartii clinical isolates by analysis of DNA restriction fragment length polymorphisms containing rRNA cistrons.

Chromosomal DNA from 26 strains of Providencia stuartii isolated mainly in hospitals in the United Kingdom and reference strains of P. stuartii, P. rustigianii, and Proteus vulgaris were digested with the restriction endonucleases EcoRI and HindIII. After electrophoresis in agarose gels, the fragments were subjected to Southern blot hybridization analysis with a biotin-labeled cDNA probe transc...
