We studied restriction fragment length polymorphism of the enterotoxin genes of isolates of Vibrio cholerae El Tor, indistinguishable by bacteriophage typing, which were collected in Hong Kong since 1978. Using this approach, we could distinguish indigenous and exogenous strains obtained from different sources and epidemiological settings.
我们研究了1978年以来在香港收集的、通过噬菌体分型无法区分的霍乱弧菌埃尔托生物型分离株的肠毒素基因的限制性片段长度多态性。利用这种方法,我们能够区分从不同来源和流行病学背景获得的本地菌株和外来菌株。
