| geographic sharing of ribotype patterns in enterococcus faecalis for bacterial source tracking. | the limited host range of enterococcus faecalis may reduce its clonal diversity and thereby increase its geographic sharing of ribotype patterns. such sharing would be advantageous for bacterial source tracking (bst). we determined the geographic sharing of ribotype patterns in 752 ent. faecalis isolates obtained primarily from wastewater treatment plants in delaware (15 locations; 490 isolates), georgia (2 locations; 48 isolates), idaho (1 location; 118 isolates), new york (2 locations; 48 isol ... | 2007 | 17878566 |
