Bacille CDC GROUP IVc-2 : caractérisation, phylogénie, épidémiologie, sensibilité aux antibiotiques

Our study of CDC Group IVc-2 began in 1995 with the report of five bacteriema at Trousseau hospital (APHP). Genotyping with RAPD, used for the first time for this species, showed a single pattern. Pulsed field gel electrophoresis, applied to Trousseau isolates and other French isolates, was unsuccessful since DNA was degraded. These isolates remained undistinguished after genotyping with PCR-ribotyping, PCR-RFLP, IRS-PCR. Surprisingly, all the strains obtained from American (ATCC) and Belgian (LMG) collections were easily distinguished by RAPD. We contributed to the taxonomic study of CDC Group IVc-2 named Ralstonia paucula in. . .
