Abstract excerpt
The spread in Europe of a single multiresistant strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa serotype O12 has been suggested. This bacterium was responsible for a nosocomial outbreak in our hospital in 1988-1989. Three different epidemiological methods were used to analyze 30 strains isolated during five consecutive years. Protein profile analysis and chromosomal DNA fingerprinting with four different enzymes revealed...
