Abstract
We studied restriction fragment length polymorphism of the enterotoxin genes of isolates of Vibrio cholerae E 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.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
