  • Title: Molecular characterization of Clostridium tetani strains by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and colony PCR.
    Author: Plourde-Owobi L, Seguin D, Baudin MA, Moste C, Rokbi B.
    Journal: Appl Environ Microbiol; 2005 Sep; 71(9):5604-6. PubMed ID: 16151158.
    Abstract:
    Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and PCR were applied for the first time to the molecular characterization of Clostridium tetani. Among five strains tested, one (CN1339) turned out to contain a mixture of two genetically different clones and two (D11 and G761) to contain bacteria differing by the presence or absence of the 74-kb plasmid harboring the tetX gene.
