Abstract excerpt
The PhenePlate (PhP) biochemical fingerprinting system is an automated method for typing of bacteria, based on the evaluation of the kinetics of biochemical reactions, performed in microtitre plates. In the present study the PhP-Klebsiella/Enterobacter (KE) system was evaluated for typing of Enterobacter cloacae and employed to study the epidemiology of faecal E. cloacae strains isolated from infants in 22...
