Agarose (1.5%) gel electrophoresis in 1x TAE buffer containing 0.5 µg/ml ethidium bromide. Purified genomic DNA was used as the template in a PCR reaction with the primers Int 1 F 5'-GGC ATC CAA GCA CGA AG-3' and Int 1 B 5'-AAG CAG ACT TGA CCT GA-3' (12). Lane M contains an equal mixture of molecular weight markers grades III and V (Boehringer Mannheim, Germany), Lane N is the negative containing all reaction components with the exception of template DNA, Lane 1, Campylobacter coli CIT-H 6 (IP-I
