From: Endemic and epidemic Acinetobacter baumannii clones: a twelve-year study in a tertiary care hospital
Genetic diversity of endemic and epidemic Acinetobacter baumannii clones. Left to right: PFGE genetic similarity dendogram, PFGE types, sequence types (ST), MLVA-8Orsay complexes, repeat number for the eight VNTR markers, number of isolates, location in the hospital, and involvement in outbreaks. Pairs EE4-EE4* and EE10-EE10* had the same PFGE type but different MLVA type. The broken line in the dendogram shows the 75% genetic similarity cut-off. Abbreviations: 2 F, second floor; 3 F, third floor; 4 F, fourth floor; 5 F, fifth floor; ICU, intensive care unit; SR, surgery room; ER, emergency room; OC, out-patient clinic consultation room. Dash means lack of amplification. Ab9 and Ab54 are epidemic PFGE types detected in other hospitals.
