Abstract:
Objective To monitor nosocomial infections of Klebsiella pneumoniae by analyzing the randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Methods RAPD analysis was used to genotype 72 Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated from the intensive care unit (ICU) of the neurosurgical department, and the fingerprints were compared to confirm the outbreak of nosocomial infection of Klebsiella pneumoniae. Results 72 strains Klebsiella pneurnoniae were classified into 68 RAPD types, suggesting the absence of an outbreak of nosocomial infection of glebsiella pneurnoniae in the ICU.Conclusian RAPD genotyping can be used in the molecular epidemiological study ofKlebsiella pneurnoniae.
