For pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), bacterial plugs were digested with restriction endonucleases XbaI and SpeI.
The PCR assay was combined with a restriction endonucleases digestion (Bsg I) of the amplification products to differentiate between different forms of Hematodinium from different hosts.
To be considered a match, the isolates from two or more patients required complete agreement of all bands by PFGE after digestion with two restriction endonucleases.
