Multilocus Sequence Typing Compared to Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis for Molecular Typing of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>

Abstract excerpt

For hospital epidemiologists, determining a system of typing that is discriminatory is essential for measuring the effectiveness of infection control measures. In situations in which the incidence of resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is increasing, the ability to discern whether it is due to patient-to-patient transmission versus an increase in patient endogenous strains is often made on the basis of molecular...
