Agarose Gel Analysis of 15–40-kb PCR Amplimers
Accurate resolution of PCR products in the range of 15–40 kb may be obtained in agarose gels without pulsed-field electrophoresis. A gel of 0.3% SeaKem® Gold agarose cast on GelBond® support film provides good resolution and sufficient gel strength to ...

Epidemiological analysis of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates from adult patients with cystic fibrosis [PDF]
Using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, we genotyped 21 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates from patients attending an adult cystic fibrosis unit. Eleven patients exhibited pulsotypes related to 2 locally endemic strains.

Development and evaluation of a novel, semiautomated Clostridium difficile typing platform [PDF]
We describe a novel, semiautomated Clostridium difficile typing platform that is based on PCR-ribotyping in conjunction with a semiautomated molecular typing system. The platform is reproducible with minimal intra- or interassay variability.

Pulsed field gel electrophoresis protocol for typing of uropathogenic Escherichia coli [PDF]
Introduction: Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) is one of the best typing methods which is highly effective in molecular epidemiological studies in different areas. All bacterial isolates are typeable by PFGE and the results are highly reproducible.
