FIG. 1 Molecular characterization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates. Shown from left to right are (a) a dendrogram comparing pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) of Smal macrorestriction fragments, (b) PFGE patterns and types (expressed by numbers), followed by (c) multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and clonal complex (CC). The cut-off value to define PFGE types was set at 80%. Optimization and band position tolerance were both set at 0.6%.
