Typing of Nocardia farcinica by Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis Reveals an Endemic Strain as Source of Hospital Infections

1 Jan 1998

Abstract excerpt

Severe postoperative wound infections caused by Nocardia farcinica were repeatedly observed in a German hospital surgical ward. A pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) protocol was established to characterize the genetic relatedness of the bacterial isolates from these infections. All 18 isolates from postoperative infections that have occurred since 1985 belong to a common endemic genotype; organisms of this...
