<table>Analysis of relatedness between 25 bovine O157 isolates. (a) Dendogram for <i>Xba</i>I-based PATS profiles was constructed using the UPGMA option in the phylogenetic analysis using parsimony (PAUP; Sinauer Associates, Inc., Publishers, Sunderland, Ma.). (b) Dendogram for <i>Xba</i>I-based PFGE profiles was constructed using the UPGMA cluster analysis based on Dice coefficients performed in Bionumerics (Applied Maths, Saint-Martens-Laatem, Belgium). Percent tolerance used is shown above the dendogram.</table>
