| Abstract: | Background The accurate identification of a pathogen beyond the species level is critical in epidemiological studies and investigations
of nosocomial outbreaks of infection. The clonal relatedness of 66 multidrug resistant (MDR) strains of extended spectrum
beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing K. pneumoniae isolated from clinical specimens from hospitalized patients at a Jamaican hospital during a 5 year period were determined
by pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). |
