FIG. 1.
Results of genotyping of A. baumannii isolates investigated in this work and of the reference strains RUH875 and RUH134, representative of European clonal lineages I and II, respectively. (A) Sequence-based typing resulting from multiplex PCR targeting the ompA, csuE, and blaOXA-51-like genes. Lane M contains 100-bp molecular weight markers. (B) PFGE profiles. The dendrogram was generated with BioNumerics software (Applied Maths), using the unweighted-pair group method with arithmetic averages and the Dice coefficient. The percentage of similarity is shown at each node. Strain descriptions with the corresponding carbapenemases (in parentheses) are shown on the right.
