Abstract
The efficiencies of different tests for epidemiological markers-phage typing, ribotyping, IS200 typing, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE)-were evaluated for strains from sporadic cases of typhoid feve r and a well-defined outbreak. Ribotyping and PFGE proved to be the mo st discriminating. Both detected two different patterns among outbreak -associated strains.
