Abstract excerpt

During an outbreak of Serratia marcescens from May to November 1993 43 strains obtained from 27 ICU patients infected or colonized with multiresistant S. marcescens were genotypically characterized with random amplified polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR)-fingerprinting. In addition, 43 epidemiologically unrelated control isolates were selected. PCR-fingerprinting identified ten different genotypes of S....
