The use of gene-specific DNA probes for the identification of enteric pathogens.
Gene-specific DNA probes can be used to identify enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli and Campylobacter jejunii by DNA hybridization. In addition, the DNA probes can be exploited to provide potentially important information concerning the epidemiology of enteric infections.
