title: Variation of RAPD-fingerprint patterns using different DNA-extraction methods with Gram-positive bacteria.
abstract: The effect of the DNA-extraction method used on fingerprint patterns of RAPD was studied usingStaphylococcus epidermidis andStreptococcus faecalis. The three methods tested (Chelex, microwave and phenol/chloroform) led to significantly different RAPD patterns. The microwave technique generated reproducible patterns and seems the most suitable for RAPD analysis of Gram-positive bacteria.
