Figure 2
Dendrogram of S. aureus attenuated mutants (RD17 and NK41), their parental (RN6390 and Newman) strains, and S. aureus nasal colonizing (Δ) and osteomyelitis (■) () isolates. SmaI PFGE typing discriminated 40 different pulsotypes. The major groups were named 1, 4, 5, 10, 28, and 40. S. aureus strains representative of Cordobes, Pediatric, and Brazilian clones are indicated [26].
