SUMMARY
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique was used to obtain randomly ampli- fied polymorphic DNA (RAPID) profiles from 64 type and serotype reference strains and 114 isolates of Campylobacterjejuniand C. colifrom food, seawater and human faeces, Genetic diversity was detected among the strains as a total of 118 different RAPID pro- files were obtained, each one containing from 4 to 11 bands between 0.30 and 1.50 ld). The discriminatory power of a random 10-mer primer (sequence 5'-CAATCGCCGT~3") was assessed. In general, no profiles were common to strains of the same Penner sero- group, but occasional strains from different Penner serotypes shared identical band pro- files, RAPID analysis also differentiated between the species, and after numerical analy- sis, five main clusters were defined at the 40 % similarity level, corresponding to C. jejuni, C. co/i and C. /at /wi th some exceptions. RAPD profiling of Campy/obeyer is highly discriminatory and is a valuable new alternative to traditional typing in epidem- i o k ~ s t u d , s.
Therrnophilic campylobacters are of world- wide significance in human and animal disease. Campy. obac ter j e j u n i in particular, is recog- rdzed as a major cause of acute bacterial enter- itis in man in most developed countries (Grif- f i ths and Park, 19913; Heal ing et al . , 1992;
Tauxe, 1992). Sources of human in fec t ion remain largely undetermined, but contaminated foods, notably poultry and raw milk, are widely regarded as important vehic les of ;,nfection (Bu tz l e r and Oos te rom, 1991 ; Hernandez , 1993).

ventionaI phenotypic methods based on biotyp- ing (Lior, 1984), serotyping (Penner and Hen- nessy, 1980) or phage typing (Khakhria and Lior, 1992) have been applied to campylobact- ers for over a decade. New molecular genotyp- ing methods based on cla-omosom~,l DNA anal- ysis are more stable and avoid dependence on expressed and poss ibly var iable pheno typ ic features. Plasmid profiling has not been devel- oped to any extent as a typing method, because fewer than 50 % of campylobacters carry plas- mids (Owen and Hernandez, 1990). The two molecular methods that provide precise and stable strain markers applicable to pure cul- tures of campylobacters are r ibosomal D N A ( r D N A ) gene p ro f i l e s f rom S o u t h e r n b lo t h y b r i d i z a t i o n ( r ibo typ ing) and p o l y m e r a s e chain reaction (PCR) -generated f ingerprints f rom random pr imer sequences (Owen and Hernandez, 1993).
Ribotyping is of value in typing most bacte- rial pathogens including Campylobacter spe- cies (Fayos et al., 1992; Gr imont and Gri- mont, 1986; Hernandez et aL, 1991a), but is t ime-consuming and not well suited to routi,~e use. The PCR has revolu t ionized molecular b i o l o g y t h r o u g h tbe i n t r o d u c t i o n of new g e n e t i c a s s a y s b a s e d c n s e l e c t i v e D N A amplif icat ion (Saiki et al., 1988). In 1990, a PCR method based on the t :mpl i f icat ion of random DNA fragments using a single primer of arbi trary sequence was descr ibed (Welsh and McClelland, 1990; Williams et al., 1990). RAPD analysis has since been applied to The typing of different pathogenic microorganisms including isolates of Campylobacter (Mazurier et aL, 1992), Listeria monocytogenes (Farber and Addison, 1994; Mazur ier and Wernars, 1992), Borre l ia burgdor fer i ~.Welsh et al. , 1992) and Proteus mirabi l is (Bingen et al., 1993).
In the present study, we evaluated the appli- cation of RAPD fingerprinting with a 10-mer
pr imer of a~ ~ ~trary sequence, for de tec t ing DNA polyrnc:phisms in C. jejuni and C. coii strains. The aim was to determine the genetic diversity among the strains and to assess its dis- criminatory power for typing in epidemiologi- cal studies.

Microorganisms and growth n,edia
The 178 strains of Campylobacter used are listed in table I with sources, strain numbers and Penner serotype if available ; 114 strains of C. jejuni and C. cell were isolated in V~lencia, Spain (1990-1993) from human faeces, seawater and poultry products. Also, 64 reference strains repre- senting different Campylobacter sr~ecies, subspe- cies and Penner serotypes were included.
The primary isolation media were "Blood-free modif ied C C D A - P r e s t o n medium" (Oxoid SRCM739) with cefoperazone, and blood agar base no. 2 (Oxoid CM271) supple,q:ented with 5 % (v/v) defibrinated sheep blood (Oxoid SR51) and Butzler selective supplement (Oxoid SR85).
All bacteria were cultivated at 37°C for 48 h on 5 % (v/v) defibrinated sheep blood agar under microaerophilic conditions in an anaerobic jar (catalyst removed) that was evacuated to a pres- sure of 560mm of Hg (ca. 74.7 kPa) ond filled with 10% CO 2, 5% 0 2 and 85% N 2. Strains were preserved at - 7 0 ° C on glass beads on nutrient broth no. 2 (Oxoid CM67) containing 10% (v/v) glycerol, and were also lyophilized in 5 % (w/v) inositol serum.
Conventional bacteriological tests
The isolates were examined using the following conventional bacteriological tests: Gram stain, growth at 42°C• catalase production• nitrate reduc- tion hippurate hydrolysis HaS rapid test and DNA hydrolyms as described previously (Benjamin et al., 1983; Hernandez et al,, 1991b). Isolates were biotyped according to the extended scheme of Lior (1984).

RAPD OF CAMPYLOBACTER 687
RAPD analysis Computation of strain similarities
A 200-B1 suspension of bacterial cells was boiled for l0 min and centrifuged for 5 rain. The OOze ~ of the supernatant was measured and dilutions were prepared to an OD26o=0.15 according to Mazurier et al. (i992); 10 B1 of each dilution were used in the amplification reaction. Also, purified genomic DNA for RAPD analysis was obtained by a miniprep pro- tocol (Wilson, 1987) using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The primer OPA-11 (Operon Technologies Inc., Alameda, CA) with sequence 5"- CAATCGCCGT-3" was used according to Fayos et ai. (1993).
A reaction volume of 100 BI was made up by addition of 2.5 U of Taq polymerase (DynaZyme TM
Thermostable DNA Polymerase, Finnzymes Oy, Finland), 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.8 at 25°C, 50 mM KCI, 1.5 mM MgCl 2, 0.1% Triton-Xl00, 200 BM of each deoxynucleotide triphosphate, 0.3 BM of the primer, 10 lal of the cell suspension (OD2~=0.15) and sterile distilled water. A negative control in which DNA was replaced with sterile distilled water was also included. The solutions were overlaid with 100 ptl of paraffin oil and cycled through the follow- ing temperature prof'fle: an initial denaturation step at 94°C for 1 min, 45 cycles of 94°C for 1 min (denaturation), 36°C for 1 rain (annealing) and 72°C for 2 rain (DNA chain extension), and a final elon- gation step at 72°(2 for 5 rain. Incubation was per- formed in a thermocycler (PHC-3 Thermal Cycler, Techne Corporation, Cambridge, UK). Standard procedures were adopted to eliminate contamination (Kwok and Higuchi, 1989). Duplicated RAPD anal- ysis from two different DNA extractions was per- formed for each strain to assess reproducibility. Also, strain NCTC 11168 was included in each experimental run. The amplified DNA products were electrophoresed on 1.2% (w/v) agarose gels (ultrapure electrophoresis grade, Gibco-BRL) and stained in ethidium bromide solution, Either a 123- bp DNA ladder (Gibco-BRL) or bacteriophage ~, DNA digested with HindlII (Gibco-BRL) was used as a size marker lbr the PCR products.
Fragment size estimation
Gels were photographed and interpreted visually by three different observers. Molecular size of frag- ments was estimated by comparison with the molec- ular size marker using the computer program HOW- BIG (Grabner and Hofbauer, 1991), based on the reciprocal ec:relation of size to migration distance of DNA. To perform the calculations, the program automatically chose the three marker bands migrat- ing closest to the test band, thereby reducing the error to 0.5 % or less.
To compare RAPD patterns from different gels, the bands were coded according to size to minimize errors when determining similarities by computer- assisted methods of analysis. The amplification pat- terns were screened for bands within 17 different size ranges from 0.30 to 1.6 kb, and positive (pres- ence) or negative (absence) results were recorded. Bands of faint intensity were excluded. Double bands falling within a given range were scored as a single band. Computed similarities among strains were estimated by means of the Dice coefficient (negative matches excluded), and clustering of strains was based on the unweighted average pair group method (UPGMA) to facilitate the plotting of a dendrogram (Sneath and Sokal, 1973). All com- putations were performed using the NTSYS-PC program of Rohlf (1987).
Discrimination index
The discrimination index of the RAPD technique was calculated by application of the Simpson numerical index of diversity (Hunter and Gaston, 1988).
RESULTS
RAPD fingerprhtts
RAPD analysis of 208 strains of Campylo- bacter yielded multiple amplification products in 178 of the isolates. The other 30 strmns failed to give a PCR product, probably due to DNase activity by those particular isolates. The effect could not be eliminated even when DNA puri- fied by the CTAB method was used, and these isolates were considered as non-typable by this method.
The DN A fragments resulting from the PCR amplification were electrophoretically s ep~- ated. The resul tant f ingerpr in t s compr i sed between 4 and 11 bands for each strain, witla sizes between 0.33 and 1.51 kb. Representa- t ive examples are shown in f igure 1. The results were similar for duplicate cultures of the same isolate, al though in some cases, a variation was observed in the relative amounts of amplification of certain DNA fragments, or

Control assays in which cell suspensions were replaced by plain distil led water yielded no detectable amplified product.
A h igh degree of genet ic d ivers i ty was detected among the strains, which represented 118 different RAPD types (table I). The Simp- son numerical index gave a value of 0.990 showing a high discrimination ability for the method.
The inc lus ion in the s tudy of re ference strains representing a broad range of different Penner serotypes revealed no re la t ionsh ip between RAPD type and serotype. In some cases, strains with identical RAPD profiles had di f ferent serotypes, Converse ly , some strains with the same serotyp¢ had different RAPD profiles.
A n a l y s i s o f f i n g e r p r i n t s : d e t a i l s o f m a i n c lusters
Numerical analysis of the 178 RAPD pat- terns enabled the plot t ing of a dendrogram showing the level o f s imi lar i ty among the strains included in the study (fig. 2). Five main clusters (I-V) were defined at the 40 % similar- ity level, mainly corresponding to C. jejuni, C. coli and C. lari. These clusters were subdi- vided into subgroups at the 45 % similari ty level. Table II summarizes the different clus- ters and subgroups with details on species, RAPD types, and most predominant bands for each ciuster.
Cluster I contained 124 strains (99 %) phe- notypically characterized as C. jejuni subsp. jejuni, but with one hippurate-negative strain (1%) identified as C. coll. A total of 71 RAPD p r o f i l e s (P I - P 7 1 ) f r o m 125 s t r a ins were defined. All C. jejuni strains isolated from foods were in this cluster, but there were also representative strains belonging to all the other isolation origins. The majority of strains had charac ter is t ic ampl i f ica t ion DNA bands of 1.51, 0.79, 0.62 and 0.36 kb.
Cluster I was subdivided into subgroups la and Ib (fig. 2). Subgroup la was defined at the 57% similarity level and contained 116 strains from all isolation origins (RAPD prof'fles P l - P65). Subgroup Ib, defined at the 70 % simi- laxity level, contained only 9 C. jejuni strains (RAPD pl'ofiles P66-P71) isolated from foods (2 strains) and from human faeces (7 strains). Amplification DNA bands of 1.51 and 0.36 kb were found in all s t rains c lus tered in sub- group Ib.
Cluster II comprised a total of 33 strains: 29 strains (88 %) were ident if ied as C. coil and the remaining 4 strains (12%) were C. jejuni subsp, doylei including the type strain NCTC 11950 T. Thir ty different RAPD pro- files (P72-P101) were defined. A major pro- por t ion of the strains (55 %) were isola ted from seawater, and they represented 67 % of all the seawater isolates. There were no spe- cially characteristic single bands for strains in this cluster.

DISCUSSION
R A P D ana lys i s was success fu l ly appl ied p r ev ious ly to the d i f f e ren t i a t ion of l imi ted numbers of C. jejuni and C. coli strains (Mazu- t ier et al., 1992 ; Giesendorf et aL, 1994). In this study, we have examined a large selection of about 200 Campylobacter isolates of diverse origins as well as reference strains representing different Campylobacter species and Penner serotypes.
In a previous study of C. jejuni Penner sere-
groups 01 and 02 (Fayos et al. , 1993), we found that RAPD analysis provided a better discrimination than serotyping, as each of these two a n t i g e n i c g roups c o m p r i s e d d i f f e r en t R A P D types . T h a t was c o n f i r m e d in the present study of a broader range of serotypes, although in some cases serotyping was able to d iscr iminate between the same RAPD type. Nevertheless, RAPD analysis proved to have an excel lent discr iminat ion abil i ty (Simpson index=0.990) and reproducibility. RAPE} fin- gerprinting confu'ms the high degree of varia- t ion among Campylobacter strains that was previously detected by other molecular typing methods (Owen et al. , 1990 ; Owen et aL, 1993; Yan et al., 1991). In addition, this tech- nique provides the advantages of other geno- typic methods such as the greater amount of information to be analysed and the stability of these characters. All RAPD procedures were r igorous ly cont ro l led in this study, but the question of good interlaboratory reproducibil- i ty r ema ins to be ach ieved . Some au thors

obtained different results when using different thermal cyclers under identical reaction condi- tions (Ellsworth et al., 1993; MacPherson et al., 1993; Penner et al., 1993), and other fac-
tors such as the make of Taq and DNA purifi- cation procedures need to be critically assessed b e f o r e R A P D p r o f i l i n g can be g e n e r a l l y adopted as a standard typing procedure.
The numerical analysis of the amplification band patterns reveals the existence of an asso- ciation between RAPD groups and Campylo- bacter species, showing the possibi l i t ies of this method as a taxonomic tool. Analogous results have been achieved in other microbial genera (Van Belkum, 1994). The similar distri- bution of RAPD pattern clusters among faecal and pou l t r y i so la t e s c o n f i r m s the ro le o f ch.;c'ken meat in the transmission of the cam- pylobacteriosis. Surprisingly, most of the sea- water isolates belonged to clusters which were not represented by faecal or poultry isolates. That fact suggests the existence of Campylo- bacter strains apparently not pathogenic and not transmitted through chicken meat.
In conclusion, RAPD f ingerpr int ing pro- v ides a d i sc r imina to ry and rapid means of comparing Campylobacter isolates, at least in intralaboratory studies. Such data are valuable in the ep idemioiogica i survei l lance and for investigating the distribution of types in differ- ent environments. Further invest igat ions are needed to find appropriate conditions for good interlaboratory reproducibility.
