Molecular epidemiology unravels the complexity of neonatal Escherichia coli acquisition in twins

E H Bingen et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1992 Jul.

Abstract

Combined analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphism of regions of genes coding for rRNA (ribotyping) and esterase electrophoretic typing was used to document neonatal acquisition of Escherichia coli in twins. Our study shows vertical mother-to-infant transmission of one strain of E. coli to one twin and the development of neonatal septicemia with a distinct nonvirulent carboxylesterase type B1 E. coli strain for the other twin.
