Pulsed field electrophoresis of genomic restriction fragments for the detection of nosocomial Legionella pneumophila in hospital water supplies.
Ten Legionella pneumophila strains isolated from different sources were analyzed according to their restriction fragment patterns obtained by cleavage of genomic DNA with NotI and SfiI and separation by pulsed field electrophoresis. Three L. pneumophila isolates from a nosocomial outbreak in Lübeck (Germany) and three other L. pneumophila strains independently isolated from a water tap located ...

متن کاملDiscriminatory genomic fingerprinting of Legionella pneumophila by pulsed-field electrophoresis.
Eight strains of Legionella pneumophila were used to optimize cleavage of DNA with BssHII, SalI, or SpeI and separation by pulsed-field electrophoresis. Isolates from a community outbreak involving a contaminated hot tub were genomically identical. Cleavage patterns were distinctly different for unrelated environmental and nosocomial strains from a single hospital.
متن کاملInvestigation of Legionella Pneumophila bacteria in hospital water supply systems
Introduction: Legionella Pneumophila bacteria is known as one of the most important nosocomial infections and the most common cause of death in patients. This study was aimed to identify Legionella Pneumophila bacteria in hospital water supply systems. Material and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed to identify Legionella pneumophila in hot and cold-water systems of i...
متن کاملIsolation of Legionella pneumophila from Tehran Hospital Water Samples
Over a Period of three months (summer), 108 samples of water collected from four hospitals in Te-hran. They were taken from numerous potable and non-potable water, including main supply cis-terns, calorifiers, hot and cold tap water, shower, cooling tower and drain of air condition system. Culturing of concentrated and non-concentrated water samples on Buffered Charcoal Yeast Extract (BCYE) Aga...
