Application of random amplified polymorphism DNA and 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism to predict major Streptococcus suis clonal complexes isolated from humans and pigs

This study revealed that RAPD had a greater discriminatory power than PCR-RFLP. This assay will be useful for screening or predicting major CCs relevant to human and pig S. suis clinical isolates and for low-cost screening of large numbers of isolates with rapid analytical capacity and could be utilized in most laboratories.
