The rise of Tropheryma whipplei: a 12-year retrospective study of PCR diagnoses in our reference center.

abstract：:An Escherichia coli rRNA probe was compared with a combination of O serotyping, phage susceptibility, and biotype pattern for the type identification of strains of Enterobacter cloacae. Forty-five isolates of E. cloacae from 36 patients in nine hospitals were examined. By conventional typing, only 26 (57.7%) could be ...
