The monitoring of epidemic Pseudomonas aeruginosa is important for cystic fibrosis (CF) infection control. The prairie epidemic strain (PES) is common in western Canadian CF clinics. Using whole-genome sequencing, we identified a novel genomic island and developed a PCR assay for PES. Against a collection of 186 P. aeruginosa isolates, the assay had 98% sensitivity and 100% specificity.
监测流行的铜绿假单胞菌对于囊性纤维化(CF)感染控制很重要。草原流行菌株(PES)在加拿大西部的CF诊所中很常见。通过全基因组测序,我们鉴定出一个新的基因组岛,并开发了一种针对PES的PCR检测方法。针对186株铜绿假单胞菌分离株的集合,该检测方法的灵敏度为98%,特异性为100%。
