Investigation of hospital-acquired infections due to Alcaligenes denitrificans subsp. xylosoxydans by DNA restriction fragment length polymorphism.
We demonstrate that DNA restriction fragment length polymorphism determined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis is very useful in the investigation of the epidemiology of hospital-acquired infections caused by Alcaligenes denitrificans subsp. xylosoxydans. This approach showed that hospital-acquired infections caused by this opportunistic pathogen over a 6-month period in 10 patients hospitaliz...

متن کاملIn vitro susceptibility of Alcaligenes denitrificans subsp. xylosoxidans to 24 antimicrobial agents.
The in vitro susceptibilities of 37 clinical isolates of Alcaligenes denitrificans subsp. xylosoxidans to 24 antimicrobial agents were determined. Imipenem was the only drug with consistent activity (MIC for 90% of isolates, 2 micrograms/ml). Piperacillin, ticarcillin-clavulanic acid, ceftazidime, and co-trimoxazole were active against most strains. All the isolates were resistant to ampicillin...
متن کاملRestriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP)
Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) is a technique in which organisms may be differentiated by analysis of patterns derived from cleavage of their DNA. If two organisms differ in the distance between sites of cleavage of a particular restriction endonuclease, the length of the fragments produced will differ when the DNA is digested with a restriction enzyme. The similarity of the pa...
متن کاملAchromobacter xylosoxidans (Alcaligenes xylosoxidans subsp. xylosoxidans) meningitis associated with a gunshot wound.
The microbiological and clinical features of a case of Achromobacter xylosoxidans (Alcaligenes xylosoxidans subsp. xylosoxidans) meningitis associated with a gunshot wound are described. To our knowledge, this is the third confirmed case report of meningitis caused by this organism.
