Oligonucleotide primers and methods for identifying strains of bacteria by genomic fingerprinting are described. The methods are applicable to a variety of samples. The testing procedure includes amplifying the bacterial DNA in the sample to be tested by adding a pair of outwardly-directed primers to...http://www.google.de/patents/US5523217?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US5523217 - Fingerprinting bacterial strains using repetitive DNA sequence amplification
