Detection of Pathogen Transmission in Neonatal Nurseries Using DNA Markers as Surrogate Indicators
1 Feb 2000
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Nosocomial infections are a major problem confronting neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). This study was conducted to determine if DNA markers designed from the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV 35S DNA) can serve as surrogate indicators of nosocomial pathogen transmission in NICUs. METHODS: Regions of cauliflower CaMV 35S promoter DNA were designed to serve as surrogate markers of microbial...
