Survey of Pseudomonas aeruginosa genotypes in colonised cystic fibrosis patients
The current authors aimed to examine whether cystic fibrosis (CF) patients in Belgium shared Pseudomonas aeruginosa genotypes and to compare the genotypes of isolates from the same patients during two consecutive years. A Belgian databank of the P. aeruginosa genotypes of all colonised CF patients was created. Sputum samples from a total of 276 P. aeruginosa colonised patients during 2003, and from a subgroup of 95 patients in 2004, were analysed. Patients were asked about any social contact between each other by questionnaire. All P. aeruginosa isolates exhibiting different colonial morpholog... Mehr ...
