Genetic Characterization of the Uropathogenic E. coli Strain 536 — A Subtractive Hybridization Analysis

The species E. coli comprises non pathogenic variants and other strains which are able to cause infectious diseases. In order to identify DNA fragments which are present in the pathogenic E. coli strain 536 but absent from the non-pathogenic E. coli strain MG1655 we have performed a subtractive hybridization analysis.
