Figure 1.
PFGE, MLST, DiversiLab and blaOXA-51-like comparison results for 42 A. baumannii strains.
Dendrogram was generated by cluster analysis of PFGE fingerprinting patterns. Arrow shows the adopted cut-off (80%) for definition of PFGE type. ID: Sample number, rep-PCR for rep-PCR type, IMP: imipenem susceptibility (S for susceptible and R for resistant), OXA: oxacillinase responsible for carbapenem resistance phenotype.
