Multi-resistant Enterobacteriaceae pose a serious threat of hospital acquired infections and their rapid identification is important for better clinical outcome. This study describes the rapid identification of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae of the sulphydryl variable-type by fluorescent in-situ hybridization. The method which rapidly identifies the target genes within 1 h could be a potentially rapid bacterial diagnostic tool.
多重耐药肠杆菌科细菌对医院获得性感染构成严重威胁,快速鉴定它们对于改善临床结果很重要。本研究描述了通过荧光原位杂交快速鉴定产超广谱β-内酰胺酶的巯基可变型肺炎克雷伯菌。该方法可在1小时内快速鉴定目标基因,可能成为一种潜在的快速细菌诊断工具。
