Typing of Nocardia farcinica by Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis Reveals an Endemic Strain as Source of Hospital Infections

Severe postoperative wound infections caused by Nocardia farcinica were repeatedly observed in a German hospital surgical ward. A pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) protocol was established to characterize the genetic relatedness of the bacterial isolates from these infections. All 18 isolates...
