Strain-typing of Isolates
Strain-typing of Isolates
Strain typing of isolates allows to compare and differentiate strains of the same species. For this purpose we use specific PCR techniques.
Typical applications for strain typing are:
- confirming the identity of production strains
- confirming the identity of reference strains
- identifying the source(s) of contaminating microorganisms
- grouping of isolates / phylogenetic analysis
