在4个月的时间里，我们前瞻性地调查了多克隆导管感染表皮葡萄球菌的频率。每根导尿管均有纯生长的OFS。用脉冲场凝胶电泳法对6个菌落进行了基因分型。12例导管感染患者中有2例为多克隆感染。每个导管的两个克隆都有明显不同的抗生素敏感性。这项研究表明，多克隆导管感染也不例外。需要进一步研究以确定多克隆导管感染的临床后果。
During a 4‐month period we prospectively investigated the frequency of polyclonal catheter infections withStaphylococcus epidermidis. Of each catheter with pure growth ofS. epidermidis, six colonies were genotypically analyzed with pulsed‐field gel electrophoresis. Two out of 12 patients with catheter infection had a polyclonal infection. Both clones of each catheter had a clearly different antibiotic susceptibility. This study shows that polyclonal catheter infections are not exceptional. Further studies are needed to define the clinical consequences of polyclonal catheter infection.
