2013-07-12ZeitschriftenartikelDNA Uptake by the Nosocomial Pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii Occurs during Movement along Wet Surfaces The emergence of Acinetobacter baumannii as an increasingly multidrug-resistant nosocomial pathogen largely relies on acquisition of resistance genes via horizontal gene transfer. Here, we demonstrate that many clinical ...

2015-11-19ZeitschriftenartikelIncidence of invasive meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections in Germany, 2010 to 2014 Voluntary surveillance systems in Germany suggest a recent decline in the incidence of infections (subsequent to at least 2010) with meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from various types of specimens and ...
-
2011-03-31ZeitschriftenartikelIS element IS16 as a molecular screening tool to identify hospital-associated strains of Enterococcus faecium Background: Hospital strains of Enterococcus faecium could be characterized and typed by various molecular methods (MLST, AFLP, MLVA) and allocated to a distinct clonal complex known as MLST CC17. However, these techniques ...
