Comparison of genome fingerprinting with conventional typing methods used on Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from cystic fibrosis patients.

Abstract excerpt

Two hundred Pseudomonas aeruginosa serial isolates from 61 cystic fibrosis patients were examined using restriction fragment length polymorphism in connection with pulsed field gel electrophoresis. A comparison was made of results obtained by genome fingerprinting and by conventional typing methods. It was possible to subdivide the majority of the genome types with the conventional typing methods, indicating the...
