High-throughput amplification fragment length polymorphism (htAFLP) analysis identifies genetic lineage markers but not complement phenotype-specific markers in Moraxella catarrhalis J.P. Hays, R.

Fig. 1 Dendrogram showing the relationship between Moraxella catarrhalis uspA2 genes after HaeIII PCR-RFLP. The dendrogram was created using the DICE coefficient with the band tolerance set at 1%. Of the 48 isolates tested, 13 (27%) failed to generate uspA2 PCR amplification products, and are therefore not included in the analysis. Isolate, M. catarrhalis isolate; Pheno, complement phenotype, where R = resistant and S = sensitive. * = outlier.
