Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of Acinetobacter isolates in the A. calcoaceticus-A. baumannii complex by restriction analysis of the 16S-23S rRNA intergenic-spacer sequences.
TL;DR: The detection of restriction length polymorphism in the spacer sequences between the 16S and 23S rRNA genes as a method for the identification of isolates in the A. calcoaceticus-A.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endemic carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa with acquired metallo-beta-lactamase determinants in European hospital.
Cristina Lagatolla,Enrico Angelo Tonin,C. Monti-Bragadin,Lucilla Dolzani,Francesca Gombac,Claudia Bearzi,Elisabetta Edalucci,Fabrizia Gionechetti,Gian Maria Rossolini +8 more
TL;DR: Evidence is the first that acquired MBLs can rapidly emerge and establish a condition of endemicity in certain epidemiologic settings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Characterization of Integrons in Epidemiologically Unrelated Clinical Isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii from Italian Hospitals Reveals a Limited Diversity of Gene Cassette Arrays
Francesca Gombac,Maria Letizia Riccio,Gian Maria Rossolini,Cristina Lagatolla,Enrico Angelo Tonin,C. Monti-Bragadin,A. Lavenia,Lucilla Dolzani +7 more
TL;DR: Integron carriage by 36 epidemiologically unrelated Acinetobacter baumannii isolates collected over an 11-year period from patients in six different Italian hospitals was investigated and ribotype analysis of the isolates demonstrated a notable genetic diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
PCR ribotyping for characterizing Salmonella isolates of different serotypes.
Cristina Lagatolla,Lucilla Dolzani,Enrico Angelo Tonin,A. Lavenia,M Di Michele,T Tommasini,C. Monti-Bragadin +6 more
TL;DR: The 16S-23S intergenic spacer region in 218 strains of Salmonella isolated from four Italian hospitals during the period from 1977 to 1994 was analyzed by PCR ribotyping, allowing for the identification of seven different and specific electrophoretic profiles for the seven serovars S.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clonal Relatedness and Conserved Integron Structures in Epidemiologically Unrelated Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strains Producing the VIM-1 Metallo-β-Lactamase from Different Italian Hospitals
Maria Letizia Riccio,Lucia Pallecchi,Jean Denis Docquier,Stefania Cresti,Maria Rosaria Catania,Laura Pagani,Cristina Lagatolla,Giuseppe Cornaglia,Roberta Fontana,Gian Maria Rossolini +9 more
TL;DR: The present findings suggest that the three VIM-1-producing isolates are members of the same clonal complex which have been spreading in hospitals in northern Italy since the late 1990s and point to a common ancestry of their blaVIM- 1-containing integrons.
