Epidemiologically linked clusters are confirmed by typing strains with molecular typing such as pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). We compared six extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing E. coli of a PFGE-related cluster with Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass-spectrometry based typing that confirmed relatedness faster and more cost-effective, but as reliable as PFGE.
通过脉冲场凝胶电泳(PFGE)等分子分型方法对菌株进行分型,从而确认存在流行病学关联的聚集性病例。我们将一个PFGE相关聚集性病例中的6株产超广谱β-内酰胺酶大肠杆菌与基于基质辅助激光解吸/电离飞行时间质谱的分型方法进行了比较,该方法确认相关性的速度更快、成本效益更高,且与PFGE一样可靠。
