Abstract
The present disclosure describes a method for identifying a strain or species of bacteria using a single locus sequence typing technique. The single locus useful in the method is the promoter region of the 16S rRNA operon. The method is useful to identify infectious bacteria in a subject, to identifying contaminants in a food source, as well as strain typing and genetic fingerprinting of bacterial families.
