FIG. 3.

UPGMA dendrogram generated from Dice coefficients that contains E. faecium PFGE library isolates compared at a VBS of 0.925%. Isolates marked with an asterisk indicate those in the VSG. The single isolate indicated by a “^” symbol (designated 1435 in the middle of the dendrogram group) is the reference (index) isolate. Of 31 isolates in the dendrogram group (marked with a bracket), 26 were visually similar, and 5 were dissimilar. The match similarity for the dendrogram group was 74%.
