Abstract excerpt
As alternative regimens in therapy of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infections are limited, epidemiological investigation of S. maltophilia is necessary for developing new strategies in prophylaxis of these infections. "Enterobacterial repetetive intergenic consensus-polymerase chain reaction (ERIC-PCR)", is a simple and rapid method to detect the genomic polymorphism at the strain level in nosocomial outbreaks...
