MLVF of S. aureus strains isolated from the nose (N) and the throat (T) of thirteen residents living in a nursing home.

Note. Four residents were simultaneously colonized with the same genetic variant of S. aureus (strain R6N and R6T; strain R8N and R8T; strain R17N and R17T; strain R25N and R25T) and one resident was inhabited by two genetically different strains (R18N and R18T). M – molecular marker (100–3000 bp).
