In vivo genetic stability of Salmonella typhi detected by ribotyping and pulsed field gel electrophoresis

Ribotyping, PCR-ribotyping and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis were used to analyze five serial isolates of Salmonella typhi obtained from a single patient with relapsing typhoid fever over a 7-week period. The 5 isolates were genetically identical by all three methods thus suggesting relapsing inf...
