Abstract
A chemiluminescent probe was used to identify 175 strains representing nine species of fusobacteria. Using TaqI restriction endonuclease, al l strains within a species gave an identical pattern - with the except ion of F. nucleatum, where several patterns were identified. This meth od may be useful as an identification system with this restriction end onuclease, but not for typing within a species other than F. nucleatum .
