- More information
- Approach:
Fecal samples will be sampled using microbiological culture techniques to determine bacterial presence. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Sensititre broth microdilution plates will be used to determine select antimicrobial attributes; pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) will be used to determine relatedness.
