pcr detection of burkholderia cepacia complex as one of key factors to handle a long-term outbreak.	once the outbreak with burkholderia cenocepacia st32 was identified in the prague cystic fibrosis (cf) centre, molecular tools were implemented into diagnostic routine in order to complement infection control measures with as accurate as possible microbiological service. in addition, genotyping techniques were applied as part of an infection surveillance program to assign species and strain status in samples positive for burkholderia cepacia complex (bcc). we sought to evaluate a usefulness of b ...	2012	22622026
high genotypic diversity of pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from patients with cystic fibrosis in the czech republic.	over the last decade, epidemic and frequently multidrug-resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa has increasingly been found among european cystic fibrosis (cf) patients. in the czech republic, more than half of the registered cf patients attend the prague cf centre. at this centre, a burkholderia cenocepacia strain was recently found to have spread among the patients. the aim of the present study was to assess whether p. aeruginosa isolates from patients at this centre were also genetically related and ...	2007	17448645
