Figure 3From: A combinational approach of multilocus sequence typing and other molecular typing methods in unravelling the epidemiology of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae strains from poultry and mammals Dendrogram for E. rhusiopathiae isolates based on PFGE banding patterns produced by SmaI restriction. Illustrated are dendrograms for (A) 45 E. rhusiopathiae isolates of sequence type complex (STC) 9 and isolates of other STs clustering with ST9 strains and (B) 11 ST4 isolates that do not cluster with strains of other STs. Additional information on isolation year and country, host, SpaA-groups (based on amino acid substitutions) and the number of SpaA C-terminal repeats are provided in separate rows. PFGE clusters (85% cut-off) are indicated by random colours; singletons are left black.Back to article page
