Fluorescence in situ hybridization for rapid identification of Achromobacter xylosoxidans and Alcaligenes faecalis recovered from cystic fibrosis patients.
Achromobacter xylosoxidans is frequently isolated from the respiratory secretions of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, but identification with biochemical tests is unreliable. We describe fluorescence in situ hybridization assays for the rapid identification of Achromobacter xylosoxidans and Alcaligenes faecalis. Both assays showed high sensitivities and high specificities with a collection of 155...
متن کاملIdentification and antimicrobial susceptibility of Alcaligenes xylosoxidans isolated from patients with cystic fibrosis.
In the past decade, potential pathogens, including Alcaligenes species, have been increasingly recovered from cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Accurate identification of multiply antibiotic-resistant gram-negative bacilli is critical to understanding the epidemiology and clinical implications of emerging pathogens in CF. We examined the frequency of correct identification of Alcaligenes spp. by m...
متن کاملVEB-1 in Achromobacter xylosoxidans from Cystic Fibrosis Patient, France
A (formerly Alcaligenes) xylosoxidans is a newly emerging microorganism isolated with increased frequency from the lungs of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), but information about its clinical relevance is limited (1). A. xylosoxidans is innately resistant to many antimicrobial drugs (2), except piperacillin, piperacillintazobactam, and imipenem, and moderately susceptible to ceftazidime (45%...
متن کاملUse of PCR-RFLP and PCR-HWP1 for identification of Candida species isolated from cystic fibrosis patients
Background: Due to the predisposing conditions in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) caused by defective mucociliary clearance facilitating colonization and invasion with Candida species has dramatically increased. Traditional methods for identifying problems are imminent and time-consuming. Therefore, molecular techniques utilizing amplification of target DNA provide quick and precise methods ...
متن کاملShared genotypes of Achromobacter xylosoxidans strains isolated from patients at a cystic fibrosis rehabilitation center.
During a study examining transmission of Pseudomonas aeruginosa among 76 cystic fibrosis patients in a rehabilitation center, where patients stay in close contact during prolonged periods, several clusters of patients carrying genotypically identical P. aeruginosa, as well as two clusters of 4 and 10 patients, respectively, colonized with genotypically identical Achromobacter xylosoxidans strai...
