Environmental Enterococcus spp. were compared by BOX-PCR genotyping and 16S rRNA gene sequencing to clarify the predictive relationship of BOX-PCR fingerprints to species designation. BOX-PCR and 16S rRNA gene relationships agreed for 77% of strains. BOX-PCR provided superior intraspecies discrimination but incorrectly identified some strains to the species level and divided some species into multiple groups.
采用 BOX-PCR 基因分型和 16S rRNA 基因测序比较了环境肠球菌 spp.,以阐明 BOX-PCR 指纹图谱与种属鉴定的预测关系。BOX-PCR 和 16S rRNA 基因关系在 77%的菌株中一致。BOX-PCR 提供了更好的种内区分能力,但错误地将一些菌株鉴定到种的水平,并将一些种分为多个组。
