Molecular Analysis of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci Isolated from Regional Hospitals in Trinidad and Tobago

Figure 2

Sma1 PFGE profiles of vancomycin-resistant E. faecium from major regional hospitals in Trinidad and Tobago, 2008–2012. Lanes one to five and seven to 12 are representative of vancomycin-resistant E. faecium isolates from Trinidad and Tobago regional hospitals. Lambda () DNA PFGE molecular size marker is indicated in marker lanes 6 and 13. Lane one = PFGE-1 or clone one; lanes two and three = PFGE-2 or clone two; lanes four, five, seven, eight, and ten = PFGE-3 or clone three; lane nine = PFGE-4 or clone four; lanes 11 and 12 = PFGE-5 or clone five.
