Molecular Fingerprinting of Clostridium difficile Isolates: Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis versus Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism

Two molecular fingerprinting techniques, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), were used to investigate the epidemiological relatedness among Clostridium difficile isolates from suspected outbreaks in three general hospitals. Analysis by PFGE yiel...
