Abstract

Diarrhea - microbiology DNA, Bacterial DNA, Ribosomal Epsilonproteobacteria - classification Epsilonproteobacteria - genetics Epsilonproteobacteria - isolation & purification Feces - microbiology Humans Molecular Typing New Zealand Sequence Analysis, DNA
Using PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, we examined 49 fecal samples from healthy volunteers and 128 diarrhea specimens to assess the distribution of Epsilonproteobacteria that might be routinely overlooked. Our results suggest that certain taxa that are not routinely examined for could account for a proportion of diarrhea of previously unknown etiology.
