Figure 4. Molecular epidemiology of group A streptococcal strains in outbreak 2. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, demonstrating relatedness of group A streptococcal isolates from facility staff and residents. Lanes 1 and 7 contain an ATCC quality control strain. Solid arrows denote identical strains from two of the three persons in whom fatal invasive group A streptococcal infection developed; the third person with invasive disease had an electrophoretically identical strain (not shown). Hollow arrows denote identical strains from persons with asymptomatic colonization with group A streptococcus. Brackets denote duplicate strains from the same person; asterisk denotes staff member. |
