The relatedness of all S. maltophilia isolates was investigated with Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA Polymerase Chain Reaction (RAPD-PCR), selected isolates then underwent Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) and an attempt was made to use Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) for biomarker based typing.
Skyldleiki allra stofnanna var kannaður með Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA Polymerase Chain Reaction (RAPD-PCR), valdir stofnar voru greindir með fjölgena raðgreiningu (MLST) og tilraun var gerð til að skyldleikagreina með Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS).
