Abstract
Ribotyping, randomly amplified polymorphic DNA analysis, and pulsed-fi eld gel electrophoresis were used for the epidemiologic evaluation of eight Pseudomonas aeruginosa O:12 isolates obtained from eight childre n and two P. aeruginosa O:12 environmental isolates from a hematology ward. Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA analysis and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis were able to discriminate isolates that were indistin guishable by biochemical typing O serotyping, or ribotyping.
