Abstract

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: is an opportunistic pathogen with high pathogenic and antibiotic-resistance potential and is also considered as one of the main nosocomial agents, specifically in the intensive care units (ICUs). It is highly important to use molecular biology methods in the epidemiological studies, determine the source of infection, and understand the relationships and distributional patterns of pathogens. Therefore, the current study aimed to determining the similar molecular types in the species isolated from patients in Tehran, Iran, by the repetitive element PCR fingerprinting (REP-PCR) method.
