Isolates 311A and 311B, isolated from the same child 16 months apart, possessed identical STR allelic patterns at all loci. By contrast, 311C, isolated from the same child 22 months after 311B, differed from A and B at 6 loci, indicating that 311C was a distinct strain. The 311 C STR pattern was observed in an isolate from another child attending the same center.
