Genetic Characterization of Streptococcus iniae in Diseased Farmed Rainbow Trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss) in Iran

Table 4

Banding patterns observed in S. iniae isolates using RAPD analysis. The numbers of different DNA banding profiles are listed with each primer used in the typing procedure. The P14 primer was able to discriminate between the isolates with the largest number of different banding patterns. — = indicating of no RAPD pattern.
