Based on the PFGE Dendogram shown in Figure 1.
Φ
Based on the ERIC-PCR Dendogram shown in Figure 2.
ER, ERIC-PCR cluster; PF, PFGE cluster; S, Similar; D, Different.
Depending to their PFGE profiles, The four isolates belonging to ER2 cluster are divided into two sub-clusters: ER2 (1) and ER2 (2). Each sub- cluster displayed identical PFGE profiles but different from the other one.
