Abstract
A multi-centre collaborative study was carried out to compare, established sub-typing techniques for C. jejuni based upon phenotypic markers namely serotype, phagetype and biotype with molecular typing methods such as 16S rRNA RFLP’s, pulsed field gel electrophoresis, RAPD, PCR-RFLP and multilocus enzyme electrophoresis, for their relative discriminatory sensitivities and specificities.
