摘要：

Agrobacterium isolates from intravenous catheters of three hospitalized patients were initially identified as A. tumefaciens, but inability to produce 3-ketolactose revealed that two of them were A. vitis. However, rDNA analysis correlated all of the isolates to A. tumefaciens. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis ascertained the nosocomial transmission of the infection.
