Ribotyping is basically sequencing the ribosomal RNA of an organism. Based on the rRNA sequence, it is possible to know to which strain the microbe belongs.

and even simpler, sequencing the ribosomal RNA gene of an organism.

Praveen Rahi

Yes, ribotyping is the characterization or grouping of bacterial isolates on the basis of their rRNA gene sequences. It can be done by 16S rRNA gene PCR-RFLP and sequencing.
