Conventional molecular analysis results for three isolates from a child attending group child carea
| Isolate | a sequence size | gB genotype | MIE RFLP |

a
Isolates 311A and 311B were indistinguishable by conventional molecular analysis. The isolates possessed the same a sequence amplicon size, identical gB genotype, and identical RFLPs for the MIE amplicon. By contrast, isolate 311C differed from A and B in both the a sequence size and the MIE RFLP, implying that 311C was a distinct strain.
