---|---|---|---|
PFGE | MLST | WGSc | |
PFGE | 0.462 (0.228–0.696) | 0.136 (0.087–0.186) | |
MLST | 0.122 (0.038–0.205) | 0.041 (0.000–0.091) | |
WGSc | 0.882 (0.841–0.923) | 1.000 (1.000–1.000) |
PFGE, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis; MLST, multilocus sequence typing; WGS, whole-genome sequencing.
CI, confidence interval.
Isolates were considered the same type by WGS if there were ≤2 single nucleotide polymorphisms between them.
