Optimized Protocol for PFGE Analysis of Anginosus (milleri) Streptococci
Journal Title: Polish Journal of Microbiology - Year 2015, Vol 64, Issue 1
Abstract
[i]Streptococcus anginosus (milleri ) [/i]is a diverse group of gram positive bacteria. Molecular methods to establish relationship between strains are poorly developed. Therefore, main tool to study genetic variability is restriction fragment length polymorphism combined with pulsed field gel electrophoresis (RFLP-PFGE). In this communication, we present optimized protocol for [i]S. anginosus[/i] PFGE analysis.
