Use of Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA PCR To Examine Epidemiology of <i>Stenotrophomonas maltophilia</i> and <i>Achromobacter</i> ( <i>Alcaligenes</i> ) <i>xylosoxidans</i> from Patients with Cystic Fibrosis

Abstract excerpt

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Achromobacter (Alcaligenes) xylosoxidans have been increasingly recognized as a cause of respiratory tract colonization in cystic fibrosis (CF). Although both organisms have been associated with progressive deterioration of pulmonary function, demonstration of causality is lacking. To examine the molecular epidemiology of S. maltophilia and A. xylosoxidans in CF, isolates from...
