Molecular epidemiology of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolated from cystic fibrosis patients.
We read with interest the recent study of Krzewinski and colleagues (2). However, we wish to clarify some issues in relation to our own work (1), to which they refer. They suggested that we had found a genotype of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients that was distinct from those isolated from other patient groups or from the environment. This is not our interpretation o...
متن کاملuse of random amplified polymorphic dna to identify candida species, originated from cancer patients
introduction: recently, the incidence of fungal infections dramatically increased with an appearance of many novel species due to different criteria. therefore, several molecular methods have been established for identification of these agents which cause human and animal disorder based on genomic dna. among these methods, rapd-pcr technique is a powerful discriminative method based on amplifie...
متن کاملSynergistic activities of macrolide antibiotics against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Burkholderia cepacia, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, and Alcaligenes xylosoxidans isolated from patients with cystic fibrosis.
Azithromycin and clarithromycin were paired with other antibiotics to test synergistic activity against 300 multidrug-resistant pathogens isolated from cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Clarithromycin-tobramycin was most active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and inhibited 58% of strains. Azithromycin-trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, azithromycin-ceftazidime, and azithromycin-doxycycline or azithromy...
متن کاملFluorescence 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 کاملCharacterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Burn Patients Using PCR- Restriction Frag-ment Length Polymorphism and Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA Analysis
One of the major opportunistic pathogens in patients with burn injuries is Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which causes severe infections in burned patients. The objective of the study was to examine the molecular epidemiology of P. aeruginosa colonization in the burn unit of Shahid Motahari Hospital in Tehran, Iran. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and random amplified polymorphic DNA (...
