Identification and characterization of transmissible Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains in cystic fibrosis patients in England and Wales.

Journal of medical microbiology - 1 Jul 2004

Scott Fiona W, Pitt Tyrone L

Abstract excerpt

Most past studies of cross-infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa among cystic fibrosis (CF) patients in the UK suggest that it is a rare occurrence. However, two recent reports of highly transmissible strains in patients in regional centres in England (Liverpool and Manchester) have raised questions as to the extent of the problem and prompted a nationwide survey to establish the distribution of P. aeruginosa...
