(a) Dendrograms displaying the grouping of 40 unique S. aureus strains (Table 1, collections 6 and 7) on the basis of hybridization scores after binary typing with all DNA probes (dendrogram 1); deletion of probe AW-4 (dendrogram 2); deletion of probes AW-4 and AW-3 (dendrogram 3); deletion of probes AW-4, AW-3, and AW-15 (dendrogram 4); and deletion of probes AW-4, AW-3, AW-15, and AW-6 (dendrogram 5). (b) Dendrograms presenting the similarity percentages of the hybridization patterns of 10 outbreak clusters of S. aureus strains (Table 1, collection 10) obtained with the complete panel of DNA probes comprising the binary typing system (dendrogram 1); after deletion of probe AW-4 (dendrogram 2); after deletion of probes AW-4 and AW-3 (dendrogram 3); after deletion of probes AW-4, AW-3, and AW-15 (dendrogram 4); and after deletion of probes AW-4, AW-3, AW-15, and AW-6 (dendrogram 5).
