A total of 119 DNA extracts (55 C. jejuni and 64 C. coli) were included in the study. Identification of genes was performed by conventional PCR (one for each gene). The overall prevalence was 40.3%, 93.3% and 68.9% for the htrA, htrB and ppk1 genes, respectively. Statistically significant differences were found (p  YR 2022 FD 2022-09-12 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10668/20786 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10668/20786 LA en DS RISalud RD Apr 7, 2025
