The use of (GTG)5 oligonucleotide as an RAPD primer to type Campylobacter concisus

Abstract

RAPD typing using (GTG)(5) is a simple method that could be used to investigate the epidemiology of C. concisus. The results suggest that homologous lineages of C. concisus may exist within an otherwise heterogeneous species complex. However, these data need to be confirmed using a more robust typing method.
