DNA fingerprinting as a means for tracing the source of E. coli contamination
Major Goals and Objectives
- To test the hypothesis that human and animal E. coli strains are distinguishable
- To screen and select appropriate primers
- To build a small RAPD (random amplied polymorphic DNA) fingerprint database for E. coli from human and nonhuman sources
- To identify landmark DNA patterns
- To determine the sensitivity and applicability of this technology
