Use of an open-reading frame-specific Campylobacter jejuni DNA microarray as a new genotyping tool for studying epidemiologically related isolates JOURNAL OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES Leonard, E. E., Takata, T., Blaser, M. J., FALKOW, S., Tompkins, L. S., Gaynor, E. C. 2003; 187 (4): 691-694

Abstract

Findings from use of an open-reading frame-specific Campylobacter jejuni DNA microarray to investigate genetic diversity among clinical isolates associated with 5 independent clusters of infection were compared with data from random amplified polymeric DNA (RAPD) and Penner serotyping analyses. The DNA microarray provides a highly specific epidemiological typing tool for analysis of C. jejuni isolates and reveals both divergent and highly conserved gene classes among isolates.
