Relationship of S. flexneri isolates isolated from calves with diarrhea based on MLVA. Isolates were analyzed using an eight-VNTR locus MLVA scheme. A dendrogram was constructed using UPGMA. The corresponding MLVA types with the copy numbers of the eight VNTRs, serotype, and background information are shown to the right of the dendrogram. The letters A-E represent 5 clusters
