Evaluation of Genotyping Large Numbers of Escherichia coli Isolates by Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus-PCR

Abstract:

We analyzed a large collection of Escherichia coli isolates typed by enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC)-PCR with BioNumerics gel analysis software. However, the interexperimental variation of ERIC-PCR caused the computer software to classify repeated isolates as'different. ERIC-PCR should not be used as the sole determinant of genetic similarity when typing large numbers of bacterial isolates via computer software.
