Abstract

Pseudomonas cepacia is an important nosocomial pathogen for which measures of isolate relatedness are being developed. Typing systems based on 4 different strain characteristics have been proposed: serologic reactions, biochemical reactions, plasmid profiles, and bacteriocin production and susceptibility. Serology and bacteriocins distinguish many types, but the sensitivity and specificity of these techniques have not been determined. Improved methods for typing P. cepacia are needed to determine the reservoirs and modes of transmission of this emerging nosocomial pathogen.

摘要

洋葱伯克霍尔德菌是一种重要的医院病原体，目前正在开发与其分离株相关性的检测方法。基于4种不同菌株特征的分型系统已被提出：血清学反应、生化反应、质粒图谱以及细菌素的产生和敏感性。血清学和细菌素能区分出许多类型，但这些技术的敏感性和特异性尚未确定。需要改进洋葱伯克霍尔德菌的分型方法，以确定这种新出现的医院病原体的储存宿主和传播方式。
