Polymorphisms in the pertussis toxin promoter in Bordetella bronchiseptica veterinary isolates from Argentina.

摘要

Five restriction patterns (including a novel one) could be defined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism on the pertussis toxin (PT) promoter region in local veterinary isolates, suggesting that PT gene analysis is a potential molecular marker for Bordetella bronchiseptica detection and typing.
