Figure 2

Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE)–based dendrogram of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated during the outbreak. A genetic similarity index scale is shown above the dendrogram. Strain numbers, clone identification, site of infection, and demographic information are included along each PFGE lane. MLST, multilocus sequence typing; SCCmec, staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec; NA, not available; ND, not determined.
