Differentiating the growing nosocomial infectious threats Ralstonia pickettii and Ralstonia insidiosa

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Differentiation of the growing nosocomial infectious threats, Ralstonia pickettii and Ralstonia insidiosa, based on nitrate reduction, desferrioxamine susceptibility, arabinose, N-acetyl-glucosamine and phenylacetate assimilation is described. These tests can be used for preliminary identification of Ralstonia pickettii and Ralstonia insidiosa resulting in more accurate identification of these species.
