Molecular Typing of Salmonella by Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis.

Salmonella is recognized as a major human foodborne pathogen and threat to public health world widely. It is important to carry out epidemiological investigations to determine the primary sources of bacterial contamination. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) is an important method of the molecular typing, and play an important role in tracking the sources of infection and epidemic control. The PFGE is currently considered as "gold standard" of molecular typing methods for bacterial foodborne pathogen. Here, we describe the PFGE protocol to type the Salmonella from pork.
