| maldi-tof ms as a tool to detect a nosocomial outbreak of extended-spectrum-β-lactamase- and arma methyltransferase-producing enterobacter cloacae clinical isolates in algeria. | enterobacter cloacae is among the most important pathogens responsible for nosocomial infections and outbreaks. in this study, 77 enterobacter isolates were collected: 27 isolates from algerian hospitals (in constantine, annaba, and skikda) and 50 isolates from marseille, france. all strains were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (maldi-tof ms). antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed by the disk diffusion method. pcr was used to d ... | 2015 | 26239991 |
