Abstract
Differentiation of strains within bacterial species, based on gas chro matographic analysis of whole-cell fatty acid profiles, was assessed w ith 115 strains of verotoxigenic Escherichia coli and 315 strains of S almonella enteritidis. Fatty acid-based subgroups within each of the t wo species were generated. Variability of fatty acid profiles observed in repeat preparations from the same strain approached that observed between subgroups, limiting the usefulness of using fatty acid profile s to subgroup verotoxigenic E. coli and S. enteritidis strains.
