DNA analysis of Clinical and Bath basin isolates
| Source | Isolate | spa type | MLST | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 (a) | Bath Basin | Methicillin-resistant S. aureus | 2 | --- |
| 1 (b) | Clinical Culture | Methicillin-resistant S. aureus | 2 | --- |
| 2 (a) | Bath Basin | Methicillin-resistant S. aureus | 681 | --- |
| 2 (b) | Clinical Culture | Methicillin-resistant S. aureus | 681 | --- |
| 3 (a) | Bath Basin | Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing Klebsiella pneumonia | --- | ST258 |
| 3 (b) | Clinical Culture | Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing Klebsiella pneumonia | --- | ST258 |
| 4 (a) | Bath Basin | Acinetobacter baumannii | --- | No Typea |
| 4 (b) | Clinical Culture | Acinetobacter baumannii | --- | No Typea |
The alleles identified for patient 4 did not match any previously-identified type in the Pubmlst database.
Results for the MLST loci were 1,12,1,2,4,98,5 for the bath basin isolate and 10,12,3,33,2,66,3 for the clinical culture.
