Klaassen et al. (51) recently compared amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) as DNA fingerprinting methods for Clostridium difficile . It is known that certain C. difficile strains are problematic to fingerprint by PFGE due to DNA degradation
Fawley et al. (2002) studied this question.
