Epidemic of Pseudomonas cepacia in an adult cystic fibrosis unit: evidence of person-to-person transmission.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Nov 1993

Abstract excerpt

An epidemic of Pseudomonas cepacia occurred in an adult cystic fibrosis center in the United Kingdom, despite a policy of segregation of infected and noninfected patients within the hospital. Investigation of the outbreak by ribotyping and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis to characterize P. cepacia strain genomes together with inquiry into social contacts between patients revealed evidence of person-to-person...
