Fluorescence-based DNA fingerprinting elucidates nosocomial transmission of phenotypically variable Pseudomonas aeruginosa in intensive care units.

European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology - 1 Dec 1995

Grundmann H, Schneider C, Daschner F D

Abstract excerpt

DNA fingerprinting based on automated laser fluorescence analysis of randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD-ALFA) is a rapid and convenient technique for detecting clonal relatedness of bacterial isolates of nosocomial concern. During an outbreak of Pseudomonas aeruginosa among five patients in...
