Dendrogram presenting pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) profiles of 86 methicillin-susceptible S. aureus isolated from nasal carriers and outpatients with cut wound infections (DH—dorsal hand wound infection; F—finger infection; PH—palmary hand wound infection). PFGE profiles were clustered into 19 genotypes (A to S) and 5 unique (Un) patterns (Un1 to Un5), on the basis of a similarity threshold ≥63%.
