While two commonly used primers (PB1 and L10) failed to discriminate between some of the different serovars belonging to the same genospecies, this primer was able to generate discriminatory fingerprints for all strains tested. All 20 <jats:italic>Leptospira<\/jats:italic> isolates, recovered from patients in Andaman Islands, could also be typed by fingerprints generated with the M16 primer. The discriminatory power of M16 primer adds more specificity to the rapidity of this system of characterization and can be used as an excellent tool in epidemiological studies on <jats:italic>Leptospira<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-3156.2004.01322.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,11,17]],"date-time":"2004-11-17T11:41:20Z","timestamp":1100691680000},"page":"1203-1209","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["A 22\u2010mer primer enhances discriminatory power of AP\u2010PCR fingerprinting technique in characterization of leptospires"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Subarna","family":"Roy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Debabrata","family":"Biswas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Vijayachari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.
