Those cases in which clonal complexity was detected are highlighted in gray.

Loci at which the isolates show differences in their MIRU types are in boldface. The lack of an allelic value at an MIRU locus indicates that no amplified product was obtained. In patients 6 and 7, the allele in the last locus in the MIRU type corresponded to a value of 11.

IVDU, intravenous drug user.

CSF, cerebrospinal fluid.
