^aThese classifications are compared to those previously given by the Department of Infection Control and Infection Prevention, UMCU, The Netherlands, on the basis of phage type or PFGE clustering.

^bNT, not typeable.

^cO1 to O6, outbreaks 1 to 6, respectively; U, unlinked epidemiological isolate.

^dAsterisks indicate two new spa types observed in this study.

^e999, no SIRU amplification found; 888, double fragments on SIRU PCR detected.
