1 Apr 1995
Abstract excerpt
The frequency of strain relatedness was determined among randomly selected patients with coagulase-negative staphylococcal infections as determined in multiple blood cultures by plasmid typing, determination of species, and antibiotyping. Strain relatedness was demonstrated in 21 of 47 episodes of bacteremia (44.7%) among 34 patients, with a similar percentage among patients with two or one positive blood culture...
