Genetic and phylogenetic evidence for misidentification of Vibrio species within the Harveyi clade.

abstract：UNLABELLED:Lactobacillus acidophilus LAB20 has potential to be a probiotic strain because it can be present at high numbers in the jejunum of dog. To specifically detect LAB20 from dog faecal samples, a real-time PCR protocol was developed targeting the novel surface (S) layer protein gene of LAB20. The presence of S-l...
