The dendrogram of PFGE results of CRE strains. The samples were from the isolates of admission screening rectal swabs and clinical culture afterward. ※A: admission screening rectal swabs, C: clinical samples afterword. Four pairs of the strains were from the same clone of the pathogen and 6(75%) of the patients were transferred from emergency medical unit. The samples collected from a patient on admission and the clinical culture during his stay in the EICU showed same PFGE patterns.
