A comparison of Salmonella serotypes isolated from New Zealand sea lions and feral pigs on the Auckland Island by Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis
The Salmonella serotypes S. Cerro and S. Newport were isolated from New Zealand sea lions (Phocarctos hookeri) and feral pigs on the Auckland Islands in the New Zealand subantarctic region. The isolates were typed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis using Xba1 as the restriction enzyme. The isolates...
