Genotyping Neisseria gonorrhoeae using fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis.
An evaluation of fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism (FAFLP) for typing Neisseria gonorrhoeae using 52 isolates revealed that its discriminatory power approached that of Opa-typing in identifying epidemiologically linked isolates. Automated, accurate sizing of FAFLP amplified fragments permits objective data analysis and storage, making it an attractive method for large surveillance projects.
