Epidemiology of Burkholderia cepacia infection in patients with cystic fibrosis: analysis by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA fingerprinting
1 Dec 1996
Abstract excerpt
We fingerprinted a collection of 627 Burkholderia cepacia isolates from 255 patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and 43 patients without CF and from the environment, by a PCR-based randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) method with primers selected for their ability to produce discriminatory polymorphisms. The RAPD typing method was found to be reproducible and discriminatory, more sensitive than PCR ribotyping,...
