Reference no: EM13140019

Two strains of the same species both contain known PCR primer sites for a gene that encodes for a virulence factor. However, the avirulent strain has a long insertion mutation in the PCR primer site that is not present within the virulent stain. How could one go about determining which strain a patient carries?
