DNA diversity among isolates of Campylobacter jejuni detected by PCR-based RAPD fingerprinting.
A PCR-based randomly amplified polymorphic DNA method was used to amplify Campylobacter jejuni DNA using a single oligonucleotide primer derived from either a homologous source or from Mycoplasma gallisepticum. The method was able to detect the heterogeneity of amplified DNA from human, chicken and turkey sources and can be used as a tool to study the epidemiology of Campylobacter jejuni infection.
