| Popis: | There was concern that nosocomial person-to-person transmission ofBurkholderia cepaciahad occurred when two patients with cystic fibrosis shared a bathroom. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis demonstrated that the two isolates were unrelated. Subsequent testing of 34 stored isolates ofB. cepaciademonstrated that no particular clone predominated in our hospital. |
