rRNA operon copy number and MAR analysis of cystic fibrosis isolates. (A) Distribution of rRNA operon copy numbers in MSSA isolates from CF patients compared to non-CF isolates. Of CF isolates, 32.4% carried five rRNA operons; in non-CF isolates, 7.7% carried five rRNA operon copies. ***, P < 0.0001 (Fisher's exact test). (B) MAR index in relation to rRNA operon copy numbers for these isolates. Isolates with five rRNA operon copies are more resistant. ***, P < 0.0001 (Wilcoxon rank sum test with continuity correction). Arrowheads represent medians.
