“…Still, the distribution in the size fractions is interesting, since in most positive samples, only the larger fraction was positive. One of the cultivated species targeted by the probe, Ralstonia pickettii, is occasionally found in clinical specimens (18,38) and is known to survive in aqueous solutions, both distilled water and saline (17,18). Other species from this cluster, such as Ralstonia solanacearum, are associated with plant disease (11,30).…”

“…It has been identified in several outbreaks due to the contamination of intravenous products, 'sterile' water, saline, chlorhexidene solutions, respiratory therapy solutions and intravenous catheters [56][57][58]. It has also been associated with pseudobacteraemias and asymptomatic colonisation [59,60]. R. pickettii may be recovered from the respiratory tract of patients with cystic fibrosis [61].…”

“…Both bacteria are ubiquitous in the environment but rarely cause symptomatic infection in healthy individuals [29]. However, they have been associated with nosocomial infections [30][31][32][33] and with infections of the respiratory system in patients with cystic fibrosis [34][35][36]. One can hypothesize that the in vitro immunization with gag peptides led to the priming of naive cells that cross-react with peptides from these two pathogens.…”
