Pulse field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) of different isolates of S. aureus; the first and last lanes correspond to the DNA ladder; lanes 1–4 correspond to strains collected from lesional skin (1), nose (2), healthy skin (3) of an atopic patient (patient 16), and his father (4); lanes 7–12 show similar strains isolated from lesional skin, nose, healthy skin of an atopic patient (patient 26) and related mother, father, and brother.
