Outbreak of typhoid fever in non-endemic area: comparison of three molecular typing methods

An outbreak of typhoid fever in Zurich, Switzerland, which involved seven customers and three employees of a city mall restaurant, was investigated by comparing three molecular typing methods: pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), ribosomal RNA gene restriction patterns (ribotyping), and random...
