a

SG or SG profile, RAPD fingerprint, and PFGE type.

b

Reproducibility panel. Duplicates of four reference strains were used to assess intralaboratory reproducibility.

c

Previously determined by D'Arezzo et al. (5).

d

Previously determined by Turton et al. (30).

e

Epidemiological concordance panel. Strains 33C and 53C were isolated from two patients during the same outbreak, and 71C was isolated from the associated environment. Strains 82D, 84D, and 85D were isolated from different patients during the same outbreak.

f

PFGE type as previously determined by Towner et al. (28).
