Abstract excerpt
The genotypic diversity of 40 presumably epidemiologically unrelated strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa belonging to nine different O-serotypes was analysed according to ribosomal DNA fingerprints. Ribotyping was performed with a digoxigenin-labelled DNA probe and four restriction endonucleases. Characteristic banding patterns of three to 12 bands were obtained with the different endonucleases. Among the 40...
