| evidence for clonal spread of a single strain of beta-lactamase-producing enterococcus (streptococcus) faecalis to six hospitals in five states. | beta-lactamase-producing (bla+) enterococci have been reported in three state and two countries. pulsed-field gel electrophoresis was used to compare 14 bla+ enterococcus (streptococcus) faecalis isolated from hospitalized patients in seven states and three continents. the restriction endonuclease digestion patterns of isolates from connecticut, massachusetts, lebanon, and argentina were all markedly different, indicating that these were different strains. however, isolates from delaware, texas, ... | 1991 | 1901330 |

| use of composite data sets for source-tracking enterococci in the water column and shoreline interstitial waters on pensacola beach, florida. | sources of enterococcus faecalis isolates from pensacola beach, fl. were identified using a library-based approach by applying the statistical method of average similarity to single and composite data sets generated from separate analyses. data sets included antibiotic resistance analysis (ara), rep-fingerprints, and fatty acid methyl ester (fame) profiles. use of a composite data set composed of ara and rep-fingerprints, added to the confidence of the identifications. the addition of fame data ... | 2005 | 15993139 |
