High Genetic Diversity of <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> and <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> Clinical Isolates by Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis and Multilocus Sequence Typing from a Hospital in Malaysia

<table>Dendrogram of genetic relatedness among <i>E. faecalis</i> strains (BioNumerics 6.10, Applied Maths, Saint-Martens-Latem, Belgium). Pulsotype refers to subtypes labelled as 1, 2, 3, and so forth. Date of collection refers to the date of the isolates that were collected and identified as <i>E. faecalis</i>. ST type refers to the assigned sequence type based on MLST. Ortho: Orthopedic ward; PICU: Pediatric Intensive Care Unit; O &amp; G: Obstetrics &amp; Gynecology ward; HDU: High Dependency Unit; CCU: Critical Care Unit; ICU: Intensive Care Unit; S: sensitive and R; resistant; Pen: penicillin, Amp; ampicillin; TZP: tazobactam-piperacillin; Gen: gentamicin (120 <i>μ</i>g). No distinct clusters observed.</table>
