Random amplified polymorphic DNA-PCR typing of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and V-alginolyticus isolated from cultured shrimps

摘要

The genomic diversity within Vibrio parahaemolyticus and V alginolyticus was assessed by using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR. Fingerprinting of genomic DNA was carried out on 25 bacterial strains. Cluster analysis revealed the conglomeration of 15 strains of F parahaemolyticus and 9 strains of V. alginolyticus into two distinct groups. Distinct clusters were observed within each species indicating genomic diversity in these bacteria. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V All rights reserved. [References: 18]
