| characterization of clinically isolated ralstonia mannitolilytica strains using random amplification of polymorphic dna (rapd) typing and antimicrobial sensitivity, and comparison of the classification efficacy of phenotypic and genotypic assays. | ralstonia mannitolilytica strains isolated between february 2002 and march 2004 from 30 episodes of infection in 26 patients at vienna university hospital were characterized. twenty-four of the episodes occurred within a 7 month period, suggesting they were outbreak-related, although no common source of infection was identified. the isolates were assayed using pcr to confirm species identification. random amplification of polymorphic dna (rapd) typing classified the r. mannitolilytica isolates i ... | 2005 | 15591256 |
