A total 44 isolates of S. enterica serovar Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) belonged to three different phage types (PTs) 9a, 13a, 25 were analyzed by the technique of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Thirty and three strains were from two outbreaks (central and southern regions of the Slovak Republic PTs 13a, 25) and 11 isolates were sporadic isolates (PT9a). These isolates showed two different...
Pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), multiplex PCR and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) methods were used for genotyping study of seventy-three L. monocytogenes isolates collected in Poland between 2000 and 2002 from human, food, environment and a diseased goat. The multiplex PCR, which is an alternative method to classical serotyping, divided the isolates into four PCR groups, IIa (42.5%), IIb...
Proteus mirabilis isolates (n=177), collected between 1996 and 2000 in four hospitals in the West Pomeranian area of Poland, were characterized by antibiotype and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). The selected isolates were collected from different wards (intensive care unit, surgery, internal medicine, and urology). The strains were cultured from various specimen types, mostly from urine,...
In search of an effective DNA typing techniaue for Acinetobacter baumannii strains for hospital epidemiology use, the performance and convenience of a new target seauence was evaluated. Using known genomic seauences of Acinetobacter baumannii strains AR 319754 and ATCC 17978, we developed single-locus variable-number direct-repeat analysis using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length...
Enterococcus faecalis represents recently an important etiological agent of health care-associated infections (HAIs) and there is a need for evaluation and comparison of typing methods available for this microorganism. We tested multilocus VNTR (variable-number tandem repeats) analysis (MLVA) on a well-characterized collection of 153 clinical isolates of E. faecalis, corresponding to 52 multilocus...
Thirty three isolates of K. pneumoniae were studied. The strains were cultured from different clinical specimens received from patients hospitalised at a Neurosurgery Unit at the Dr Jurasz University Hospital in Bydgoszcz. Production of ESBL was assessed using double disk synergy test. The genomic DNA was extracted from the strains separated by PFGE after digesting with XbaI endonuclease. Production...
Since listeriosis, caused by Listeria monocytogenes, is one of the important concerns of public health in Europe related to foodborne zoonoses, an efficient protocol for isolate typing is necessary when performing epidemiological studies. Three standardized PFGE protocols available for L. monocytogenes were briefly reviewed. Since observing a poor-quality of ApaI pulsotypes in our laboratory, enzymes...
