Figure 3. Comparison of AscI pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns for isolates from selected ribotype clusters. AscI PFGE types are shown for two clusters representing epidemiologically confirmed outbreaks (A and G), one ribotype cluster that was further discriminated by PFGE typing (C), and one cluster with overlapping PFGE and ribotype clusters (E). Isolates with <3 bands difference are shown in bold. The percent similarity does not reflect true phylogenetic distance.
