Abstract excerpt
Each of 314 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa recovered from 87 French cystic fibrosis (CF) patients was typed by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis to investigate the genetic diversity, the relatedness and the molecular epidemiology of strains isolated from cases of chronic pulmonary colonization. Comparison of allele profiles at 18 enzyme loci identified 17 electrophoretic types (ETs). Of the 314 isolates, 290...
