Genomic analysis of salmonella species based on 16S rRNA gene sequences
The complete 16S rRNA gene (rDNA) sequences of 15 strains of Salmonella species have been analyzed using direct sequencing of PCR amplicons generated using universal primers. The percentage similarity between the Salmonella spp. studied was very high (96.4 to 99.2) indicating a high degree of sequ...
