Rapid molecular strain typing is critical for effective outbreak investigation and implementation of infection control measures. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis is a highly discriminatory technique for Campylobacter jejuni, but generally requires 35 days. We describe a simplified protocol for pulsed-field gel electrophoresis that provides high quality typing of C. jejuni isolates in a single day.
