Prevalence of different carbapenemase genes harbored by CRE isolates from Adan and Mubarak Al Kabeer Hospitals.
Fig 4.
Dendrogram based on UPGMA cluster analysis of Dice similarity values of PFGE fingerprint patterns of 50 carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) isolates in Kuwait.
Band profiles of each strain are shown corresponding with the lines of the dendrogram. Seven pulsotypes (designated A, B, C, D, E, F, and G) diverging 85% criterion. The gene, isolate identification, and hospital are represented in the columns.
