Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-Acinetobacter baumannii complex is an important nosocomial
pathogen for which optimal typing methods in epidemiologic investigations have not been …

ABSTRACT DNA microarrays are an excellent potential tool for clinical microbiology, since
this technology allows relatively rapid identification and characterization of microbial and …

The number of stable discriminant biochemical characters is limited in the genera
Alcaligenes and Agrobacterium, whose species are consequently difficult to distinguish from …

Background: Typing of nosocomial pathogens is necessary to determine the source of an
outbreak. The aim was to determine the genomic variability among Pseudomonas …

Acinetobacter baumannii frequently causes nosocomial infections and outbreaks. Whole-
genome sequencing (WGS) is a promising technique for strain typing and outbreak …

Effective diagnosis and treatment of bloodstream infections are often hampered by a lack of
time-critical information from blood cultures. Molecular techniques aimed at the detection of …

Bacterial strain typing, or identifying bacteria at the strain level, is particularly important for
diagnosis, treatment, and epidemiological surveillance of bacterial infections. This is …

Eighty-seven strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were typed by random amplification of
polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) of macrorestriction …

The genus Pseudomonas, a complex Gram-negative genus, includes species isolated from
various environments, plants, animals, and humans. We compared whole-genome …
