The randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique was used to analyse the genetic differentiation of 13 strains of Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida, and seven strains of Aer. hydrophila. Reproducible profiles of genomic DNA fingerprints were generated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using a single randomly designed primer. The RAPD profiles of all the non-motile aeromonads, Aer. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida were identical. However, profiles of the motile aeromonads, Aer. hydrophila differed between isolates. These findings reveal genomic homogeneity in Aer. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida and genetic variety in Aer. hydrophila strains.

D016133	Polymerase Chain Reaction	In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.

D016172	DNA Fingerprinting	A technique for identifying individuals of a species that is based on the uniqueness of their DNA sequence. Uniqueness is determined by identifying which combination of allelic variations occur in the individual at a statistically relevant number of different loci. In forensic studies, RESTRICTION FRAGMENT LENGTH POLYMORPHISM of multiple, highly polymorphic VNTR LOCI or MICROSATELLITE REPEAT loci are analyzed. The number of loci used for the profile depends on the ALLELE FREQUENCY in the population.
