Abstract excerpt
The suitability of arbitrary primer polymerase chain reaction (RAPD) as a typing technique was evaluated by comparing it with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) to characterize Aeromonas hydrophila strains isolated from a cluster of hospital-acquired infections. Five isolates from patients a...
