Bacterial cross-transmission was investigated during a 12-month period in an adult intensive care unit (ICU) by the generation of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fingerprinting profiles, combined with automated laser fluorescence (ALF) analys

A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR), involving detection of the mecA and femB genes, was combined with a novel immunoassay system capable of detecting specific PCR products. The resulting PCR-immunoassay was evaluated in comparison with conve

Most aminoglycoside resistance in Acinetobacter spp. involves production of aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes. Previous studies have shown that the genes encoding these enzymes can be present on plasmids, transposons or within integron-type structures

Sporadic infections with Acinetobacter spp., punctuated with prolonged outbreaks of infection involving larger numbers of patients and a particular epidemic strain of Acinetobacter baumannii, have occurred in the adult intensive care unit (ICU) of No

Members of the genus Acinetobacter, particularly multiresistant strains of A. baumannii, are implicated in a wide spectrum of nosocomial infections, including bacteraemia, secondary meningitis and urinary tract infection, but have now assumed a parti

Summary A mutagenesis system involving the insertion of a non-transposable antibiotic resistance gene cassette was used to generate stable mutations in the chromosome of Haemophilus influenzae type b strain Eagan. The mutations generated were shown b
