PCR analysis determining the genotype of enterotoxin gene–carrying Clostridium perfringens type A isolates obtained from healthy persons. All 4 strains are studied with 3 different primer sets, described in Table 1. For A, B, C and D, the isolate represents genotype IS1470-like-cpe, IS1151-cpe, IS1470-cpe, or unknown genotype, respectively.
