Abstract
Based on a 10-mer primer (5'-CCTGTTAGCC-3'), a random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) method for typing Campylobacter coli isolated from pigs was developed. The method proved effective with a high discrimination and good reproducibility. In contrast with serotyping no untypable strains were found out of a total of 269 isolates (veterinary, food and clinical) examined. The method was also successfully applied to typing Campylobacter jejuni from a similar range of sources.Keywords
