| Popis: | Thermophilic Campylobacter species are the most common cause of gastroenteritis in developed countries. Campylobacter spp. are ubiquitous in nature and widespread in livestock. Infections occur sporadically, and are believed to occur through consumption of contaminated meat products and from environmental sources. DNA-based techniques are essential for tracing origins of pathogens, and thereby for control over infection. This chapter provides an overview of existing technologies for characterizing Campylobacter isolates, in comparison to the use of pan-genomic microarrays. It is clear that microarray tools allow insight in the genetic factors important for host specificity, virulence, adaptation and antibiotic resistance. ɠ2011 Woodhead Publishing Limited All rights reserved |
