FIG. 3.

Comparison of PFGE and MLVA results (cutoffs 75 and 70%, respectively) with those obtained by MLST and spa typing. The order in which isolates are listed from top to bottom is based on the MLST dendrogram (left side of the figure). Gaps within spa profiles indicate possible deletion/insertion events in the spa locus and were introduced in order to optimize the alignment of the profiles. In PFGE and MLST columns only cluster designations were used; the unique PFGE and MLVA types were not included for clarity.
