CHARACTERIZATION BY MULTILOCUS ENZYME ELECTROPHORESIS OF LISTERIA-MONOCYTOGENES ISOLATES INVOLVED IN OVINE LISTERIOSIS OUTBREAKS IN SCOTLAND FROM 1989 TO 1991
F. Baxter et al., CHARACTERIZATION BY MULTILOCUS ENZYME ELECTROPHORESIS OF LISTERIA-MONOCYTOGENES ISOLATES INVOLVED IN OVINE LISTERIOSIS OUTBREAKS IN SCOTLAND FROM 1989 TO 1991, Applied and environmental microbiology, 59(9), 1993, pp. 3126-3129
Initial results from a study of five small ovine listeriosis outbreaks
in Scotland in 1989 to 1991 are presented. Forty-eight isolates inclu
ding three from silage were typed at 10 polymorphic enzyme loci by usi
ng multilocus enzyme electrophoresis resulting in the identification o
f 12 electrophoretic types. Phylogenetic analysis partitioned the 12 e
lectrophoretic types into two statistically distinct divisions disting
uishing 1/2a serotypes from non-1/2a serotypes.
