^aShown are clusters delineated among the profiles with PFGE with a cutoff value of 65% similarity or among the profiles obtained with BOX-PCR with a cutoff value of 70% similarity. MLRT data were taken from previous studies (10; T. Coenye and J. J. LiPuma, submitted for publication). CC, clonal complex; s, separate position in the dendrogram; —, does not belong to a clonal complex (singleton type).
