Characterization of the Type Strain of Campylobacter coli, CIP 70.80, by Plasmid Typing
Abstract
A 1.9-kb plasmid DNA fragment from the type strain of Campylobacter coli, CIP 70.80, was used as a probe to characterize this type strain, other C. coli type strains obtained from several culture collections, and other C. coli strains. A specific hybridization pattern was obtained, and this pattern can be used to identify, characterize, and follow up C. coli type strains in culture collections.
