Abstract
Repetitive-sequence-based polymerase chain reaction (Rep-PCR) method was used for analysis of genetic variability among bacterial populations from different world locations. Collection of 26 Czech and 13 foreign strains of Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus was amplified using BOX primer targeting to repetitive motif occurring in eubacterial genomes. Genetic fingerprints were visually compared and statistically evaluated by cluster analysis. Genetic similarity was estimated to be approximately 80% among all tested strains. Populations of these bacteria seem to be highly homogeneous; potential influence of geographic origin was not confirmed.Entities:
