Figure 1 (A) PFGE results of imported MRSA isolates and international MRSA clones. Lanes 1, 8 and 13: NCTC 8325. Lanes 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12 and 15 represent our DNA classes 2a, 2b, 7a, 7b, 41, 42 and 44. Lane 3 is HPV 107, lane 6 is E-MRSA 16, lanes 9 and 12 are HDE 288, and lane 15 is BK 2464. (B) PFGE results that show our heterogeneous DNA classes 14–29.
