Abstract
The molecular characterization of 28 clinical Actinomyces pyogenes str ains was attempted. SDS-PAGE protein profiles did not allow to disting uish isolates. Restriction endonuclease analysis of total DNA gave the finest differentiation between strains but the profiles were difficul t to read. Ribotypes after DNA digestion by Bst EII or Sma I have a hi gh discriminatory power and are more helpful epidemiological markers. No relationship could be demonstrated between molecular types and clin ical sources.
