Abstract

We constructed a simple genotyping method combining multiplex allele-specific PCR and DNA chromatography for Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium and its monophasic variant. The developed method can be used to estimate the genetic background of isolates, and it facilitates easy identification of several epidemic clades among these serotypes.
