Abstract
The genetic variation of 40 isolates of Enterobacter cloacae was studied using four primers (640, 650, OPAR3, OPAR8) by RAPD-PCR technique. Most isolates gave DNA bands different in numbers and sizes. Among the primers (640) exhibited the highest efficacy reaching (322) total bands. The genetic diversity relationships between Enterobacter cloacae were generated by UPGMA analysis. Genetic similarity ranged from 0.58 (low similarity) to 0.93 (high similarity). The dendrogram differentiated the species into 31 distinct clusters at similarity level which ranged from (0.84-0.93).
