Abstract
Our results confirmed that CAV is still circulating in commercial flocks in Argentina. Phylogenetic analysis focusing on the VP1 nucleotide sequence showed that all Argentinean isolates grouped together in a cluster, sharing a high similarity (> 97%) with genotype B reference strains. However, Argen...

Abstract
We optimized a PFGE protocol for subtyping of Acinetobacter baumannii, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp., which are commonly isolated from nosocomial infections in many hospitals. Reproducibility of our PFGE procedure was studied three times at 2- to 3-week intervals. Epidemiological concordance...

Abstract
We concluded that ERIC-PCR is not suitable for differentiating isolates within the same serotype and for grouping into clusters. In PFGE using the AvrII enzyme, S. Choleraesuis isolates formed three clusters, and S. Hadar isolates formed three clusters; using the XbaI enzyme, S. Choleraesuis isolate...

Thirty-three batches were contaminated by L. monocytogenes (33/1275, 2.6%), in which serovar 4b dominated (65.2%), followed by serovars 1/2b (17.4%), 1/2a (13.0%) and 1/2c (4.4%). These isolates were all as virulent as L. monocytogenes reference strains. Of 23 selected L. monocytogenes isolates and...
