We investigated the possibility of cross-infection among cystic fibrosis patients in two Brazilian reference centers. Achromobacter xylosoxidans isolates (n = 122) were recovered over a 5-year period from 39 patients. Isolates were genetically heterogeneous, but one genotype was present in 56% of the patients, suggesting that cross-infection may have occurred.
我们调查了巴西两个参考中心的囊性纤维化患者之间发生交叉感染的可能性。在 5 年期间,从 39 名患者中分离出了 122 株不动杆菌属。分离株具有遗传异质性,但 56%的患者存在一种基因型,提示可能发生了交叉感染。
